How to install iso file in Linux system

How to install iso files under Linux system?

Installation steps:

1. In the /mnt directory, create a corresponding iso folder, such as iso.

2. Run the following command to mount the iso file

mount -o loop /home/tecmint/Fedora-18-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/iso

Note: /home/tecmint/Fedora-18-i386-DVD.iso is the path name of the iso file

After successfully mounting the ISO image, change the mounted directory to /mnt/iso and list the contents of the ISO image. It can only be mounted in read-only mode, so no files can be modified.

cd /mnt/iso

ls -l

You will see a list of files of the ISO image that we mounted in the above command. For example, a directory listing for the Fedora-18-i386-DVD.iso image would look like this.

total 16

drwxrwsr-x 3 root 101737 2048 Jan 10 01:00 images

drwxrwsr-x 2 root 101737 2048 Jan 10 01:00 isolinux

drwxrwsr-x 2 root 101737 2048 Jan 10 01:00 LiveOS

drwxrwsr-x 28 root 101737 4096 Jan 10 00:38 Packages

drwxrwsr-x 2 root 101737 4096 Jan 10 00:43 repodata

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1538 Jan 10 01:00 TRANS.TBL

3. At this point, there are corresponding installation files in the /mnt/iso directory. Next, you can install the software through these installation files.

Note: The above operations are performed after su root and require root privileges.
