Ubuntu is distributed on eight types of images described below.
Desktop image
The desktop image allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of image is what most people will want to use. You will need at least 1024MiB of RAM to install from this image.
For Lenovo X13s Gen 1.
Server install image
The server install image allows you to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer for use as a server. It will not install a graphical user interface.
For 64-bit ARMv8 processors and above.
PowerPC64 Little-Endian server install imageFor POWER9 and POWER10 Little-Endian systems.
IBM System z server install imageFor IBM System z series mainframes, such as IBM LinuxONE.
Server install image
The server install image allows you to install Ubuntu permanently on a computer for use as a server. It will not install a graphical user interface.
For RISC-V computers. Requires copying your own first stage bootloader (like u-boot) and relevant DTBs onto the image before usage on real hardware (like the SiFive HiFive Unmatched).
Netboot tarball
The netboot tarball contains files needed to boot the Ubuntu installer over the network.
For 64-bit ARMv8 processors and above.
PowerPC64 Little-Endian netboot tarballFor POWER9 and POWER10 Little-Endian systems.
RISC-V netboot tarballFor RISC-V computers. Requires copying your own first stage bootloader (like u-boot) and relevant DTBs onto the image before usage on real hardware (like the SiFive HiFive Unmatched).
IBM System z netboot tarballFor IBM System z series mainframes, such as IBM LinuxONE.
Preinstalled desktop image
The preinstalled-desktop image allows you to unpack a preinstalled version of Ubuntu onto a target device.
For modern Raspberry Pi boards (Pi 2, Pi 3 and Pi 4).
Preinstalled server image
The preinstalled-server image allows you to unpack a preinstalled version of Ubuntu onto a target device.
For modern Raspberry Pi boards (Pi 2, Pi 3 and Pi 4).
Raspberry Pi Generic (64-bit ARM) preinstalled server imageFor modern Raspberry Pi boards (Pi 2, Pi 3 and Pi 4).
RISC-V preinstalled server imageFor RISC-V computers. Requires copying your own first stage bootloader (like u-boot) and relevant DTBs onto the image before usage on real hardware (like the SiFive HiFive Unmatched). Usable on RISC-V QEMU.
RISC-V for SiFive HiFive Unmatched preinstalled server imageFor RISC-V computers, with support for SiFive HiFive Unmatched.
RISC-V for StarFive VisionFive preinstalled server imageFor RISC-V computers, with support for StarFive VisionFive
RISC-V for StarFive VisionFive 2 preinstalled server imageFor RISC-V computers, with support for StarFive VisionFive 2
RISC-V for Allwinner Nezha preinstalled server imageFor RISC-V computers, with support for Allwinner Nezha
RISC-V for Sipeed LicheeRV Dock preinstalled server imageFor RISC-V computers, with support for Sipeed LicheeRV Dock
RISC-V for Microchip Polarfire Icicle Kit preinstalled server imageFor RISC-V computers, with support for Microchip Polarfire Icicle Kit
Legacy desktop image
The desktop image allows you to try Ubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of image uses the legacy installer. You will need at least 1024MiB of RAM to install from this image.
Choose this if you have a computer based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). Choose this if you are at all unsure.
For ARM hardware for which we do not ship preinstalled images, see ARM/Server/Install for detailed installation information.
A full list of available files, including BitTorrent files, can be found below.
If you need help burning these images to disk, see the Image Burning Guide.
