Step-by-Step Guide

This guide walks you through installing and configuring Flux Arcane OS in a virtualized environment. While we illustrate using Proxmox Hypervisor v8.4.1, the same workflow—with minor UI variations—applies to other platforms such as Oracle VirtualBox.

ℹ️ Tested Compatibility

  • ✅ Proxmox 8.4.1 – Fully supported and tested

  • ✅ Oracle VirtualBox (Windows) – Very similar process
