Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) 7.2 pre-releases can be installed from this page.

Please read our DRAFT IIAB [7.2 Release Notes.](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-7.2-Release-Notes)
To install IIAB 7.2 onto
[Raspberry Pi OS](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/)
[Ubuntu 20.04](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Platforms#operating-systems)
[Linux Mint 20](https://linuxmint.com/rel_ulyana_cinnamon.php)
[Debian 10](https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/debian-installer/)
run this 1-line installer:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jvonau/iiab-factory/master/7.2-install.txt | sudo bash

If you want to test drive iiab-upgrade do this:

cd /opt/iiab/iiab-factory
git checkout master
git pull origin master
git checkout -b iiab-upgrade
git pull -q https://github.com/jvonau/iiab-factory.git master
sudo ./iiab-upgrade

After the install iiab-upgrade will be on the path so ./ will not be needed.
This routine uses a 'jv' as a working branch until merged upstream if that ever occurs.


OS TIPS & TRICKS: click the above link (that ends in .txt) for important
recommendations on how to PREPARE & SECURE YOUR OS.

WARNING: NOOBS IS *NOT* SUPPORTED, as its partitioning is very different.
On a Raspberry Pi, [WE RECOMMEND YOU INSTALL THE LATEST RASPBERRY PI OS](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md)
To attempt IIAB 7.2 on another Linux see the [full/manual instructions](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Installation#do-everything-from-scratch)

An Ethernet cable is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED during installation, as this is more
reliable than Wi-Fi (and faster too!)  WARNING: IF YOU CONNECT YOUR IIAB'S
INTERNAL WIFI TO THE INTERNET OVER 5 GHz, YOU'LL PREVENT OLDER LAPTOPS/
PHONES/TABLETS (WHICH REQUIRE 2.4 GHz) FROM CONNECTING TO YOUR IIAB'S
INTERNAL HOTSPOT.  See: "wifi_up_down: True" in /etc/iiab/local_vars.yml<!--  If however you must install over Wi-Fi,
remember to run "iiab-hotspot-on" after IIAB installation, TO ACTIVATE YOUR
RASPBERRY PI's INTERNAL WIFI HOTSPOT (thereby killing Internet connectivity!)-->

        Thanks For Building Your Own Library To Serve One & All

Write to bugs @ iiab.io if you find issues, Thank You!  Special Thanks to the
countries+communities+volunteers working non-stop to bring about [IIAB 7.2](http://wiki.laptop.org/go/IIAB/7.2)
