This guide aims to simplify the download experience.** + +Installing Debian can be a difficult experience for beginner Debian users. The official download page contains several links, and it’s a little confusing as to which one to download. + +Keeping that in mind, I have prepared this guide to help you to pick up the right Debian ISO file directly from this page. + +Overall, you can classify Debian ISO files into two broad categories. They are “free” and “non-free”. + +### A few notes about “Free” and “non-Free” Debian images + +- Debian “non-free” images refer to the installation images of the Debian operating system that contain software which does not adhere to the Debian free software guideline. +- “Non-free” software includes software that is proprietary, copyrighted or has license restrictions that prevent users from modifying or distributing the code. The Debian project provides these “non-free” images as an optional download for users who need them to use specific hardware devices or software that require proprietary drivers or firmware. +- The “free” version of Debian contains only open-source and freely distributable software, meaning that users have the freedom to modify, distribute, and share the software with others without any legal or ethical restrictions. + +Debian 12 Bookworm onwards (upcoming release), the non-free firmware packages are included officially in the main ISO files. So, this guide is split between two sections. + +### Download: Debian 12 Bookworm and above + +Here’s a brief table to download Debian ISO for version 12 Bookworm (currently not stable and under testing). + +| **Description** | **Max ISO Size** | **Choose this ISO if** | **ISO Download****Link****(amd64)** | +| :- | :- | :- | :- | +| > Minimal Size> Ideal for the basic install | 700 MB | You want to download the basic packages and then install them without the internet | [iso-cd][1] | +| > Full DVD size | 5 GB | You want everything to be downloaded first, then start the installation, which is ideal for offline installation. | [iso-dvd][2] | + +### Download: Debian 11 Bullseye and below + +#### Free ISO files (no proprietary packages) + +The below ISO images are “**free**” images, which means they don’t include many proprietary packages for the firmware. + +| **Description** | **Max ISO Size** | **Choose this ISO if** | **ISO Download****Link****(amd64)** | +| :- | :- | :- | :- | +| > Minimal Size (netinst CD)> Requires internet connection for packages | 500 MB | You have stable high-speed internet and want a small initial download | [iso-cd][3][torrent][4] | +| > Full CD size> Comes with CD 1, 2 and 3> You need the CD 1 only for basic installation | 700 MB | You want to download the basic packages and then install them without the internet | [iso-cd][5][torrent][6] | +| > Full DVD size> Comes with DVD 1, 2 and 3> You need the DVD 1 only for basic installation | 5 GB | You want everything to be downloaded first, then start the installation, which is basically ideal for offline installation. | [iso-dvd][7][torrent][8] | + +#### Non-free ISO files (with proprietary packages) + +If you have special hardware such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. – you may want to get the **“non-free”** version of the packages from the below table. + +| **Type** | **Type of image** | **Choose this ISO if** | **ISO download link (amd64)** | +| :- | :- | :- | :- | +| Non-free | full CD, DVD | You want less effort and want Debian to work with all supported hardware. | [cd-dvd][9]_(go to non-free directory)_ | +| Non-free | full CD, DVD (LIVE) – separate desktop environment packages | You want less effort and Debian to work and a LIVE system. LIVE system also offers a complete installation as well | [cd-dvd-live][9]_(go to non-free directory)_ | + +### Other architectures + +#### For Debian 11 Bullseye: + +- [arm64][10] +- [armel][11] +- [armhf][12] +- [i386][13] +- mips (not available) +- [mips64el][14] +- [mipsel][15] +- [ppc64el][16] +- [s390x][17] + +All images download link: [Click here][18] + +### Older version (Debian 10 Buster) + +If you need any images for Debian Buster 10, visit this [page][19]. + +### Wrapping Up + +For new users, it might be too much information if one wants to download Debian ISO images from the official website. Hence, I summarised the download links in a proper format. I hope this article has helped you find your system’s target Debian ISO images. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://www.debugpoint.com/download-debian-iso/ + +作者:[Arindam][a] +选题:[lkxed][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://www.debugpoint.com/author/admin1/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed/ +[1]: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/bookworm_di_alpha2/amd64/iso-cd/ +[2]: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/bookworm_di_alpha2/amd64/iso-dvd/ +[3]: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/iso-cd/ +[4]: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/bt-cd/ +[5]: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/ +[6]: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-cd/ +[7]: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/iso-dvd/ +[8]: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/bt-dvd/ +[9]: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ +[10]: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/ +[11]: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-armel/current/images/ +[12]: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-armhf/current/images/ +[13]: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-i386/current/images/ +[14]: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-mips64el/current/images/ +[15]: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-mipsel/current/images/ +[16]: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/ +[17]: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-s390x/current/images/ +[18]: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ +[19]: https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/debian-installer/
