# Booting from a USB Drive {#sec-booting-from-usb}
|

|
||||
For systems without CD drive, the NixOS live CD can be booted from a USB
|
||||
stick. You can use the `dd` utility to write the image:
|
||||
`dd if=path-to-image of=/dev/sdX`. Be careful about specifying the correct
|
||||
drive; you can use the `lsblk` command to get a list of block devices.
