## Download and Installation

BlackArch Linux only takes a moment to setup.

There are three ways to go:

  2. Use the [live ISO](https://blackarch.org/downloads.html).

  3. The Full and Netinstall ISOs come with a text-based installer

     (`blackarch-install`). The Slim ISO comes with a GUI-based installer.

     You can use the installer to install BlackArch Linux onto your hard disk.
