## Preparing the Second Internal Drive
1. Install the second NVME internal drive into the USB enclosure, NOT into the Second machine yet.
2. Plug in the USB enclosure into the first machine with Linux OS already installed into one of its available USB ports.
3. **Please Make Sure You Know The Existing Storage Names On This First Linux Machine. If You Run The Script Below And You Do Not Know What You Are Doing, You Could Potentially Erase Your First Linux Machine's Data. I Am Not Responsibly For Your Errors**
4. Open a terminal in the first Linux machine and log in as root.

## Preparing the First Main Internal Drive
### Procedure One - Installing base NixOS
1. Still on the first machine with Linux OS already installed, download the latest NixOS <u>minimal</u> (64-bit Intel/AMD) image from here: https://nixos.org/download

2. Burn that ISO image onto the USB thumb drive.
3. Insert the newly created USB thumb drive with the ISO image into the second machine (the one you are installing Sovran_SystemsOS).
4. Reboot the second machine while the USB thumb drive is inserted and boot into the USB thumb drive. This may require you to press the F7 or F12 key at boot. (Also, make sure the second machine has "safe boot" turned off in the UEFI[BIOS]).

11. The script will ask for name of first main internal drive. Type that in and hit enter. It usually will be `nvme0n1`. Basically, it will be the drive without any data and it will not be mounted per the list on the screen.
12. Then the script will ask for the 'Boot' partition. Type it in and press enter. It will be the SMALLER partition and usually named `nvme0n1p1`.
13. Then it will ask for the 'Primary' partition. Type it in and press enter. It will be the LARGER partition usually named `nvme0n1p2`.
14. The script will finish installing the base NixOS. At the end it will ask for a root password. Type `a` and press enter and type `a` again to confirm and press enter.
15. Remove the USB thumb drive from the second machine.
16. The machine will reboot into a very basic install of NixOS command prompt.

### Procedure Two - Installing Sovran_SystemsOS
### Procedure Three - Opening The Ports on Your Router - Internal IP
1. Go to port forwarding on your router and open the above mentioned ports to the internal IP (the one you found above) of your new Sovran_SystemsOS machine
### Procedure Four - Installing Sovran_SystemsOS
1. Now at the basic install of NixOS from step `16`, type `root` to log into root and type the password `a` when asked then press enter.
