Installing with the Debian-Installer
For official Debian 12.7 installation media and information, see the bookworm page.
All images linked below are for the version of Debian Installer being
developed for the next Debian release and will install Debian testing
(trixie
) by default.
To install Debian testing, we recommend you use the daily builds of the installer. The following images are available for daily builds:
Current daily snapshots
Notes
- An architecture can be (temporarily) omitted from the overview of daily built images if daily builds are not (reliably) available.
- For the installation images, verification files (SHA512SUMS and SHA256SUMS) are available in the same directory as the images.
- For downloading full CD and DVD images the use of jigdo is recommended.
- Only a limited number of images from the full DVD sets are available as ISO files for direct download. Most users do not need all of the software available on all the discs, so to save space on download servers and mirrors the full sets are only available via jigdo.
After using the Debian-Installer, please send us an installation report, even if there weren't any problems.
