Verify the download

Windows PowerShell:

(Get-FileHash .\MultiTaction-Resolute-Slim-Installer-manual-2026-07-15.img.xz -Algorithm SHA256).Hash

Linux:

sha256sum -c MultiTaction-Resolute-Slim-Installer-manual-2026-07-15.img.xz.sha256

Write the installer USB

Windows: open Rufus, select an empty USB drive of at least 8 GB, choose the downloaded .img.xz, and click Start. Use DD/Image mode if prompted. Rufus decompresses the file automatically.

Linux: replace /dev/sdX with the complete USB device, not a partition. Check with lsblk first; choosing the wrong device destroys its data.

xzcat MultiTaction-Resolute-Slim-Installer-manual-2026-07-15.img.xz \
  | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX bs=16M status=progress conv=fsync
sync

Boot the workstation from the USB in UEFI mode. The installer verifies its payload, displays eligible internal disks, and requires the target device name to be entered twice before erasing it. After installation, power off, remove the USB, and boot from the internal disk.

The installed system auto-logs in as multi. Open Applications → MultiTaction → Install MT Apps to select Canvus, Showcase, Launcher, or Canvus Server after networking is available.
