# Parabola Installation Guide
|
||||
|
||||
This is a guide on how to install parabola that i created to have a reference for my eventual future installations on a librebooted system.
|
||||
I decided to write this because I found that following the original guide in the Parabola wiki was not sufficent if you want to have an encrypted disk and no systemd in your system.
|
||||
Still, this is to be considered just a recap of what you will need to to if you want to install Parabola this way, do not consider this official (or even unofficial) documentation at all.

I will assume that you already created a bootable drive of some kind with an image of Parabola CLI Edition that you can download from here: [download](https://wiki.parabola.nu/Get_Parabola)\
|
||||
I won't cover how to do so beacuse there are already hundreds of guides that perfectly teach you how to do it on every system with every image using every technique available.

The choice of partitions and filesystems is a matter of preference, and beyond the scope of this install guide. You can look at the Parabola wiki to know more.

If you already know what do you want and how you want it, you can skip this part.

We are now gonna put a filesystem on the first partition, I use FAT partitioning beacuse it is versatile since it's compatibile with both legacy boot and UEFI.

To encrypt out partition we run the command:

You be ask to confirm the choice by typing **YES** and you will be asked to insert the passphrase for the partition.
