2. Installation

Installing Rockbox is generally a quick and easy procedure. However before beginning
there are a few important things to know.

2.1. Before Starting

USB connection. To transfer Rockbox to your player you need to connect it to your
computer. For manual installation/uninstallation, or should autodetection fail
during automatic installation, you need to know where to access the player. On
Windows this means you need to know the drive letter associated with the player.
On Linux you need to know the mount point of your player. On Mac OS X you
need to know the volume name of your player.

2.2. Installing Rockbox

There are two ways to install Rockbox: automated and manual. The automated way is
the preferred method of installing Rockbox for the majority of people. Rockbox Utility
is a graphical application that does almost everything for you. However, should you
encounter a problem, then the manual way is still available to you.
Rockbox itself comes as a single package. There is no need to install additional
software to run Rockbox.

2.2.1. Automated Installation

To automatically install Rockbox, download the official installer and housekeeping tool
Rockbox Utility. It allows you to:
Automatically install all needed components for using Rockbox ("Minimal Instal-
lation").
Automatically install all suggested components ("Complete Installation").
Selectively install optional components.
Install voice files and generate talk clips.
Uninstall all components you installed using Rockbox Utility.
