Having Trouble While Installing GhostBSD on PC

Post by HoustonMarvin »

Greetings to all, This is Houston and I am a new member on this forum. Actually I tried to install GhostBSD on my PC. But when I am trying to install this, Avast would not let me run a program. I have no idea what could be the issue. Could anyone please help me to fix it?

Hi Houston, welcome to GhostBSD,
How were you trying to install GhostBSD? Dual booting with Windows? If there's a problem with avast, try looking at your Avast settings, or temporarily disabling it.
I've never heard of this problem before.

Also try asking on the GhostBSD Telegram channel if possible. You'll probably get help a lot quicker.
Hope the problem gets fixed

Avast Antivirus Software ??
Is this what you are referring to https://www.avast.com/en-us/about#android
Temporarily turn off Avast antivirus function.

Download "latest" .ISO file https://GhostBSD.org/download

use tool https://etcher.io or https://rufus.ie to write .ISO file to USB flash drive. Boot live image from usb flash drive, using your Bios F12, F11 or F2 key to select the boot drive.

Now you can test GhostBSD on your PC system computer with out installing it.

From a running GhostBSD, click on GBI icon GhostBSD Installer, to install to hard drive or external USB SSD drive. you need to have a 30gb or larger partition for GhostBSD to use. Yes you can dual boot Windows and GhostBSD using rEFInd boot manager.

Thank you for your help. But I have already resolved the issue with the help of this article that suggested the same to disable Avast and re-enable it. After doing the tasks properly, the problem got solved. There was no problem while installing this. Anyway, thank you so much everyone.
