+title: Install FreeBSD from linux
+description: How to install FreeBSD at hosting providers that do not support it

+
+## Introduction
+
+This article explains a simple method to install FreeBSD when all you have is a linux and a remote console.
+
+## How to
+
+First login as root on the linux you want to reinstall as Freebsd. Identify the disk device you want to install on, update the url below to the latest release you want and run :
+```sh
+wget https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/VM-IMAGES/13.0-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64.raw.xz -O - | xz -dc | dd of=/dev/vda bs=1M conv=fdatasync
+```
+
+When all is done, force a reboot of your machine and connect to the remote console. Your FreeBSD system should boot and leave you with an authentication prompt. Just type in root (it will not ask for a password) and go through this post installation checklist :
+- set a root password with `passwd`
+- add a user account with `adduser`, put it in the `wheel` group
+- activate openssh with `service sshd enable && service sshd start`
+- if dhcp is not sufficient configure your network with `ifconfig`, `pkill dhclient` if necessary and check the default route(s)
+- don't forget to configure ipv6 too
+- configure your `resolv.conf`
+- install python for your first ansible run
