For cloud or container/docker versions, please refer to the different marketplaces. ## Prepare environment Please take in consideration the following recommendations to install **RELIANOID Load Balancer Enterprise Edition** in every platform. ### Baremetal Platforms In the case you're installing RELIANOID ADC Load Balancer Enterprise Edition v8 in a baremetal (multi purpose hardware or server), please use an application like [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/en/) to create bootable USBs or boot the installer attaching the ISO in a virtual IDE of an VM. The ISO is already compatible with bootables CDROM and USBs so it is required to deploy the ISO image into one of those storage mediums. Once the ISO is deployed into one of those mediums, just insert it in the hardware and boot from them. If the installer is not executed, please check BIOS options to prioritize USB or CDROM drives in the boot ordering. ### Virtual Platforms Virtualized editions will be available soon. ### Cloud Platforms It will be available soon. ### Container Platforms It will be available soon. ## Installation Please follow these instructions to proceed with the installation. ### Installer boot Once the installer boots, a splash image with a menu will be shown.
