| You can reference the upstream [RHEL 8.9 release notes](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/8.9_release_notes/index) for a full list of changes in this release. | ||

|
|
||
| ## Installation instructions | ||
|
|
||
| There are three installation ISO images available: | ||
|
|
||
| `AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso` - a single network installation CD image that downloads packages over the Internet. | ||
|
|
||
| `AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-minimal.iso` - a minimal self-containing DVD image that makes possible offline installation. | ||
|
|
||
| `AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-dvd.iso` - a full installation DVD image that contains mostly all AlmaLinux packages. | ||
|
|
||
| You can select a mirror closest to your geographic area listed on the [mirrors.almalinux.org](https://mirrors.almalinux.org) website. A local mirror will be a lot quicker than using ```repo.almalinux.org``` directly. Then, download a suitable ISO image from the 8.9/isos/$arch/ directory of your source, for example: | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| $ wget https://mirror.interserver.net/almalinux/8.9/isos/x86_64/AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Download and import the AlmaLinux public key: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| $ wget https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux | ||
| $ gpg --import RPM-GPG-KEY-AlmaLinux | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Download and verify a checksums list: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| $ wget https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8.9/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM | ||
|
|
||
| # we are looking for “Good signature” | ||
| $ gpg --verify CHECKSUM | ||
| gpg: Signature made Mon 20 Nov 2023 02:10:58 PM EST | ||
| gpg: using RSA key E53CF5EF91CEB0AD1812ECB851D6647EC21AD6EA | ||
| gpg: Good signature from "AlmaLinux <[email protected]>" [unknown] | ||
| gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! | ||
| gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. | ||
| Primary key fingerprint: 5E9B 8F56 17B5 066C E920 57C3 488F CF7C 3ABB 34F8 | ||
| Subkey fingerprint: E53C F5EF 91CE B0AD 1812 ECB8 51D6 647E C21A D6EA | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Verify the downloaded ISO image checksum: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| # calculate the downloaded ISO SHA256 checksum | ||
| $ sha256sum AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso | ||
| ab861d80c8b68634f3c16d414a4141759a082548ad7b251d8924675fa09decab AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso | ||
|
|
||
| # compare it with expected checksum, it should be the same | ||
| $ cat CHECKSUM | grep -E 'SHA256.*AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso' | ||
| SHA256 (AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso) = ab861d80c8b68634f3c16d414a4141759a082548ad7b251d8924675fa09decab | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| If you decide to use the `AlmaLinux-8.9-x86_64-boot.iso` image, you will need to provide the `8.9/BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart/` URL repository from the selected mirror as the Installation Source if the installer will not be able to find closest mirror for some reason. | ||
|
|
||
| There are no extra Installation Sources required if you decided to go with either the minimal or DVD ISO images. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
