Ubuntu

Download the latest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image from releases.ubuntu.com.

You can use the Desktop or Server edition. Note that the Server edition does not come with a graphical user interface pre-installed and can only be managed via the command line. The Server edition will require less system resources.

Desktop or Server

Please read the note for IT admins under the System requirements on how to decide if a Desktop or Server edition is needed.

We recommend connecting the server to the internet. This will ensure that all available updates for the OS are downloaded during the installation process.

Create a install medium

For virtual servers

If the CareSuite is to be installed on a virtual server, you can simply mount the downloaded Ubuntu ISO image in your VM and boot it.

For physical servers

If the CareSuite is to be installed on a physical server, you need to create a bootable installation medium (USB stick).

1. Use the Etcher software to flash the downloaded Ubuntu ISO to a USB drive (at least 4 GB)
2. Connect the USB drive to your CareSuite Server and boot into the Ubuntu installer
