Creating Bootable USB Disk from .iso image file on Ubuntu 16.04 with command line

In this post i would like to show you you can create a bootable USB disk from .iso ubuntu desktop image file for that you mush have an .iso image file.

1. First of all download an .iso image from http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/

   In my case my desktop is 64 bit architecture so i used this one

   ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso 2017-08-01 11:51 1.5G Desktop image for 64-bit PC (AMD64) computers (standard download)

2. Navigate to directory where your downloaded file exist

3. Plug in the USB flash drive and determine the device it’s mounted on with the command:sudo fdisk -l

   It was /dev/sdb1 for me, so I’ll use that as my example.

4. Umount the device before starting

   umount /dev/sdb1

5. Copy the iso. copy to the device not partition (i.e copy to sdb not sdb1) as shown below :sudo dd bs=4M if=ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress && sync

6. sudo eject /dev/sdb

   Have a look at screenshot below
