00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,970
okay, in this video, we're going to teach you how to create a tails usb using linux.

2
00:00:05,970 --> 00:00:09,380
so we want to utilize ubuntu in this video.

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,270
that's going to be the standard linux we use.

4
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:16,690
if you use a different linux, like an arch linux or something like that, you're going to probably need to find a different guide on that.

5
00:00:16,690 --> 00:00:24,240
we're going to keep it pretty basic with the linux install we're using and use one of the more popular versions of linux, which is ubuntu workstation.

6
00:00:24,260 --> 00:00:28,880
so let's hop on over to our ubuntu workstation desktop and we'll take a look at how to do it.

7
00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:34,160
okay, so here on our ubuntu desktop, we're going to do some similar steps like we've done before.

8
00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:42,160
we'll open up a simple web browser and we're going to go to the tails website to actually download the image file we'll need to create that bootable usb.

9
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:45,430
so we'll do that in a new tab here.

10
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:46,910
we'll just look for tails.

11
00:00:46,910 --> 00:00:50,160
it's tails dot net to actually download the tails usb.

12
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:52,430
so we'll go to install tails.

13
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:58,570
we'll click on this right here, download tails only for usb sticks, and we'll actually download the image file right here.

14
00:00:58,570 --> 00:01:05,440
you can download the torrent version of the image file, which might be a little bit faster of a download, but we'll just do the normal download for the purposes of this video.

15
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:08,560
we'll give that a 2nd to download and we'll come back once it's complete.

16
00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:16,770
okay, and now that that download has completed, there is an additional step here we'd like to do, which is to make sure our download is verifying.

17
00:01:16,770 --> 00:01:20,390
so we'll click on that, we'll go to our downloads and look for the tails image.

18
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:25,360
there's some other stuff in here from other videos we've made, but we'll click on the dot image file.

19
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:26,480
oops.

20
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:31,040
click on the dot image file, and we'll go ahead and select that.

21
00:01:31,180 --> 00:01:42,440
and what it's going to do is actually take a version of the hash of the download, and it's going to compare it with what's on the tail server side to ensure that your download was not tampered with during the download process.

22
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:55,590
so it ensures that when you go to create this usb with tails, that the integrity is still good and that the file is as expected, meaning your tails is secure and proper and secure.

23
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:58,800
so we'll let that verify and then we'll come back once that is completed.

24
00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:08,000
and once that verification is complete, assuming everything is good, it will say verification successful, meaning that your download is good to go.

25
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:16,480
so now we want to create the bootable usb and in order to do that, we're just going to use the disk utility that exists within linux.

26
00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:21,600
and once you're on this screen, what you want to do is actually plug in your usb device.

27
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:30,110
and we'll actually be using the hard disk to display this because there's the bug in my current linux that i'm not going to work through right now.

28
00:02:30,110 --> 00:02:33,280
so instead, what you'll do is the usb drive should appear here.

29
00:02:33,340 --> 00:02:34,490
you go ahead and click on it.

30
00:02:34,490 --> 00:02:38,160
when you do, click on the three dots and say restore disk image.

31
00:02:38,380 --> 00:02:40,880
and then we will select the tails image.

32
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:42,440
we'll open that.

33
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:44,370
and then you click start restoring.

34
00:02:44,370 --> 00:02:46,920
so be aware this will erase what you're doing.

35
00:02:46,940 --> 00:02:50,450
so double check that it won't erase anything important.

36
00:02:50,450 --> 00:02:53,390
in this case, i'm not going to actually do it because i'm selecting the hard disk.

37
00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:56,280
so that would just erase my os install i have on here.

38
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:57,390
but that's really it.

39
00:02:57,390 --> 00:03:00,950
once it's complete and ran, you'll be ready to go with your usb.

40
00:03:00,950 --> 00:03:02,550
if you have any questions, let me know.

41
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:04,080
otherwise, we'll see you in the next one.
