# Obtaining NixOS {#sec-obtaining}
|
||||
|
||||
NixOS ISO images can be downloaded from the [NixOS download
|
||||
page](https://nixos.org/download.html#nixos-iso). Follow the instructions in
|
||||
[](#sec-booting-from-usb) to create a bootable USB flash drive.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a very old system that can't boot from USB, you can burn the image
|
||||
to an empty CD. NixOS might not work very well on such systems.
|
||||
|
||||
As an alternative to installing NixOS yourself, you can get a running
|
||||
NixOS system through several other means:
|
||||
|
||||
- Using virtual appliances in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) that
|
||||
can be imported into VirtualBox. These are available from the [NixOS
|
||||
download page](https://nixos.org/download.html#nixos-virtualbox).
|
||||
|
||||
- Using AMIs for Amazon's EC2. To find one for your region, please refer
|
||||
to the [download page](https://nixos.org/download.html#nixos-amazon).
|
||||
|
||||
- Using NixOps, the NixOS-based cloud deployment tool, which allows
|
||||
you to provision VirtualBox and EC2 NixOS instances from declarative
|
||||
specifications. Check out the [NixOps
|
||||
homepage](https://nixos.org/nixops) for details.
