In the near future, we expect to begin using the port internally at Hello Robot to continue refining it while adding new capabilities. We also expect some customers who have requested this port to begin trying it out. For users who wish to test out the Noetic port, please see the [installation guide](install_noetic.md). **This guide is in active development as well. Please proceed with caution.**
If you do begin using this branch, **please file issues here and ask general questions on the [forum](forum.hello-robot.com)**.

1. Install a partition with Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop Edition
1. Download and write the [Ubuntu 20.04 iso file](https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso) to a USB key.
2. Make sure you have sufficient space on your robot’s solid state drive (SSD) and backup all of your critical files.
3. Boot the robot with the USB key plugged into a USB port in the robot’s trunk.
4. The installer should detect your Ubuntu 18.04 installation and provide the option to install Ubuntu 20.04 alongside Ubuntu 18.04. This option will be selected by default. ![20.04 alongside 18.04](./images/ubuntu_installation_1.jpg){:height="200px" width="400px"}

5. Proceeding with this option will result in a new partition with Ubuntu 20.04, although there must be sufficient available space on the robot’s SSD.
2. Copy materials from your Ubuntu 18.04 partition
1. Boot into your Ubuntu 20.04 partition.
2. Mount your Ubuntu 18.04 partition. For example, you can do this by going to “+ Other Locations” using the file explorer GUI and clicking on the Volume associaed with your Ubuntu 18.04 partition.
1. Boot into your Ubuntu 18.04 partition.

3. Boot into your Ubuntu 20.04 partition.
4. Copy the "stretch-re1-xxxx" folder into your home folder (i.e. `/home/$USER`).
