<h1 id="install" class="step">Install Tails using <i>GNOME Disks</i></h1>

<div class="step-image">[[!img inc/infography/install-tails.png link="no" alt=""]]</div>

Install <span class="application">GNOME Disks</span>.

If you are using the GNOME desktop environment, <span class="application">GNOME Disks</span> should be installed by default.

Otherwise, install the `gnome-disk-utility` package using the usual installation method for your distribution.

You can also install Tails using the
`dd` command from any Linux distribution
as described in our instructions for [[installing from Debian using
the command line|install/expert#install]].
