### Zero OS install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Zero-OS is delivered to the 3Nodes over the internet network (network boot) and does not need to be installed.

# Zero-OS Install Mechanism
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Stateless Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Acquire a computer (server).
|
||
|
|
2. Configure a farm on the TFGrid explorer.
|
||
|
|
3. Download the bootloader and put on a USB stick or configure a network boot device.
|
||
|
|
4. Power on the computer and connect to the internet.
|
||
|
|
5. Boot! The computer will automatically download the components of the operating system (Zero-OS).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The actual bootloader is very small. It brings up the network interface of your computer and queries TFGrid for the remainder of the boot files needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The operating system is not installed on any local storage medium (hard disk, ssd). Zero-OS is stateless.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The mechanism to allow this to work in a safe and efficient manner is a ThreeFold innovation called our container virtual filesystem. This is explained in more detail [here](flist)
