Etcher is a popular open-source USB image writer tool for Windows, macOS and Linux — and it recently got a new stable release.
There are online sites that do additional scans. As long as you download it from SourceForge, you should be ok (they do NOT have permission to change my installer, and I maintain a master copy of checksums for verification). I am researching file compression techniques that will enable image creators to generate a compressed image for upload. At the moment, there is an Alpha build of ISO Image Writer for installation but only on KDE Neon Developer Edition. Find and install it using the app installer of your choice. Download ISO Image Writer. I hope the project is made readily available for other Linux distros in the near future.
Ubuntu touch is a mobile version of Ubuntu developed by the UBports community. Installation instructions can be found on the UBports PinePhone project. There is also a script to download the latest image and flash to your PinePhone. In the future, Ubuntu Touch will be able to be installed onto the PinePhone with the UBports installer GUI tool.
The latest version of the tool arrives almost a year to the day since we first introduced you to this easy-to-use image writer tool from Balena.
The new release adds a boat load of improvements to the image writing tool that its developers say make it 'a much more stable and reliable' than before.
A Recap of Etcher Features
Balena is the company steering development of the app and they say, over the course of its releases to date, Etcher has been used to write over one million images to SD cards & USB drives.
As featured in our last if the best Electron apps, Etcher is a true cross-platform tool that you can sue on Windows, macOS and Linux. Regardless of which OS you have Etcher will write .iso, .img and .zip files to USB drives and SD cards.
The main interface is dead simple to use too: you select an image, select a drive (the built in drive picker is designed to avoid you making mistakes and overwriting a hard drive, etc) and hit the Flash button to, well, you know!
A validated burning option is also available. This can double-check the integrity of the image after flashing so that you're not left trying to boot from a dud drive.
- Support for creating multi-boot USBs
- Support for persistent storage on Ubuntu images
- Registered Etcher as handler for *.img and *.iso files
An Etcher CLI is also available. This allows you to write images and validate flashes from the command line. As the CLI tool doesn't rely on the Electron framework it's a smaller download and install size. Its developers also tout the ability for users to write custom scripts using the CLI to 'perform tasks such as multi-writes.'
How to Install Etcher on Ubuntu
Etcher is available to download for Windows, macOS and Linux from the Etcher.io website as well as from the GitHub release page below:
Etcher's Linux builds are provided in the AppImage package format for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
What are app images? AppImages are self-contained runtimes that do not require manual installation or root access, but do require you give them the necessary permissions to run like so:
Because an AppImage will run on pretty much any Linux distro out there you only need to download it, give it permissions (see here) then double-click on it to run:
If you prefer to install your apps in a more traditional way, i.e. using apt, you can install Etcher on Ubuntu from a repository.
Getting the repo set up is a bit more involved than using the AppImage linked to above but it does ensure you get future Etcher updates automatically through the Software Updater tool. Microsoft powerpoint 2019 16 24 months.
To add the Etcher repo first open the Software & Updates app:
Select the ‘Other Software' tab in Software & Updates [1]
Click ‘Add' [2] and paste the following the entry field of the box that appears:

Click ‘Add Source' [3] to confirm the change, then close Software & Updates. You'll likely be prompted to update your software sources.
You can also add the repo via a terminal with the command:
However you add the repo the next step is to add the repository key. This allows Ubuntu to verify that packages installed from the repository are made by who they say they are. You have to add this key to be able to install Etcher as Ubuntu disables unsigned repos by default.
To add the repository key open a new Terminal window, paste the following command, and then hit return/enter:
Finally, update your packages list and install the app:
That's it; launch Etcher from the Applications grid (or your preferred Linux app launcher) and follow the on-screen instructions to create a bootable USB!
Linux enthusiasts on the hunt for a reliable USB image writer will be pleased to hear that a new app is in development.
The plainly named ‘ISO Image Writer‘ is a new app by Jonathan Riddell, a prominent KDE developer and project lead of the KDE Neon software stack.
The new app, Riddell says, is based on the Qt5 ROSA Image Writer, a cross-platform USB image writer that is recommended by KDE Neon, among other Linux distributions.
But ISO Image Writer can do more than write .iso files onto a USB stick or SD Card, as Riddell explains:
Ubuntu Server Image
'[ISO Image Writer] adds ISO verification to automatically check the digital signatures or checksums, currently supported is KDE neon, Kubuntu and Netrunner.'
His app also uses KAuth so that it doesn't run the main UI as root.

Riddell says he hopes to add AppImage, Windows and macOS installers in the future.
