Instructions

  1. Download the image from here or build it by sourself (see below)

  2. Write the image on a USB stick. On Windows a tool like Rufus is recommended, while Linux users can create the boot media with the dd command.

  3. Boot from the USB stick and create the wallets you need. All common USB printers should work on the live system. Remember: Never use network printers to print out your private keys!

Build

The Debian live-build framework is used to build this live system. In live-build, the configuration of the distribution is done through an extensive directory structure. The entire system can be built from this structure. If you want to build the live system by yourself, it is highly recommended to use a native debian distribution.

First you need to install the live system build components.

apt install live-build

Afterwards you can clone this repo and build the system by executing the following commands within the vinktar-live directory.

lb config
lb build
