Choose the right image
Modern x86 systems use the UEFI ISO. Older PCs use the BIOS ISO. Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 use the compressed arm64 image. These are full installers, not updater archives.

5tratumos-installer-v0.5.00-uefi.isoGOOD STARTING POINT
- 64-bit x86 CPU
- 16 GB RAM minimum
- 1 TB SSD / NVMe recommended
The newest complete installation media is v0.5.00. After first boot, use the signed in-OS updater to reach the current v0.5.8 release. Update-only .tgz files are deliberately not offered as fresh-install downloads here.
The complete route
Six steps. No treasure hunt.
Everything needed for a clean first installation, with deeper documentation ready when a machine needs something unusual.
Verify the download
Download the matching SHA-256 file from GitHub and compare it before writing the installer. A clean checksum means the file arrived intact.
Write the media
On Windows use Rufus in DD mode. For Raspberry Pi use Raspberry Pi Imager. The target USB, microSD or SSD will be erased.
Boot and install
Boot the target machine from the new media, follow the prompts and install onto the SSD or NVMe selected for 5tratumOS.
Open your dashboard
Visit http://5tratumos.local/ or use the IP shown by your router. Create the first WebUI account; there is no default admin password.
Install your apps
Open the Community App Store, choose a node or mining app, then watch its sync and startup checks from one place.
