This article will describe an USB-Creator installation procedure on Ubuntu Linux. USB-Creator allows you to create a bootable USB key from Ubuntu CD or ISO image. First, we need to install all pre-requisites in order to build USB-Creator package. Once we have successfully build USB-creator packages we use dpkg command to install all USB-Creator on the system.
Let’s start by pre-requisites installation:
# apt-get update # apt-get install bzr pbuilder debhelper dh-translations python3-distutils-extra pkg-kde-tools
Now download a current development code from “brz” revision control system:
# bzr branch lp:usb-creator usb-creator.trunk
Navigate to USB-Creator’s source code directory:
# cd usb-creator.trunk/
In the next step we are going to build USB-Creator installation packages:
# debuild -uc -us
Install USB-Creator package using dpkg:
# dpkg -i ../usb-creator*.deb
In case you get a dependency error:
Errors were encountered while processing: usb-creator-common usb-creator-gtk usb-creator-kde
use the following linux command to fix the issue:
# apt-get install -f
To start USB-Creator run:
$ sudo usb-creator-gtk OR $ sudo usb-creator-kde
