Installation

Windows

The best tool to flash Anarchy Linux to a USB is Win32DiskImager. Download it, choose the Anarchy image (ISO), select the wanted USB and press write.

THIS WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR USB! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Linux

The fastest method, although not the safest or easiest for most beginners is to use dd.

DON'T COPY AND PASTE THE TEXT BELOW AS ANY DISK YOU SELECT WILL BE COMPLETELY WIPED!

Replace x with your USB device's letter (use lsblk to check which letter it was assigned, usually it's "b"):

sudo dd if=./<anarchy-image.iso> of=/dev/sdx bs=4M status=progress && sync

You can also use GUI based software such as Etcher.
