Instructions

In order to install and set up ggRock we would need to complete following steps:

🔹 Step 1: Download the Latest Debian ISO

Go to the official Debian download page:

** 👉 https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/12.11.0/amd64/iso-cd/

Look for the section at the bottom.

You should see something like:

This is Debian 12, codenamed bookworm, netinst, for 64-bit PC (amd64)

debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso

Click the .iso filename to begin the download:

Example: debian-12.11.0-amd64-netinst.iso

(Optional but recommended) You can also download the SHA512SUMS and Signature files to verify the integrity and authenticity of the ISO.

The “netinst” image is a minimal installer that fetches most packages from the internet during setup — perfect if you have a good network connection.

🔹 Step 2: Download Rufus (Windows only)

Go to the Rufus official site:

👉 https://rufus.ie/en/

Scroll to the Download section.
Click the latest version under "Download" (e.g., Rufus 4.4 or whichever version is current).
Save the .exe file to your computer.

Rufus is portable — no installation required. Just double-click the .exe file to launch it.
