To use an ISO file, Linux users could just dump it into a usb drive to create a bootable usb stick like :

where /dev/sdX is the device name of your usb drive.

Windows's users can use the tool Win32 Disk Imager to create a bootable usb stick.

Please read this page about how to install it to the device. Except the traditional ISO files, we also package android-x86 files into a Linux package rpm. It allows Linux users to easily install the release into an existing Linux device with a standalone ext4 root partition. On an rpm based device (Fedora/Red Hat/CentOS/SUSE...), just install it like a normal rpm package:

This will update your older installation like 7.1-r2 or 8.1-rc1 if you have.

On a deb based device (Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint/...), please use the alien tool to install it:

All files will be installed to the /android-8.1-rc1/ subdirectory and boot entries will be added to grub2 menu. Reboot and choose android-x86 item from the menu to boot Android-x86. Alternatively, you can launch Android-x86 in a QEMU virtual machine by the installed qemu-android script:

Note Android-x86 running in QEMU and the real machine (after rebooting) share the same data sub-folder.

To uninstall it : or (on Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint/...)
