# Standalone Computer

MikoPBX supports installation on a standalone computer. There are two installation methods:

* **Live USB** — writing the image to a flash drive and then installing it onto another disk.
* **Bootable USB** — installing the system directly onto the USB drive itself, allowing you to boot and run the system from it.

This section provides image writing instructions for all supported operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux).
