It is an archive that contains the image of a disc, ie. the data that is present on an optical disc. There are many applications that can help you create and access ISO files. Talking about Ubuntu and other mainstream Linux Distributions, they can mount ISOs using Archive Mounter and other such softwares. This tutorial is for few that don\u2019t have them, or for the ones who\u2019d just like to play around with Linux in a geeky way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\" start=\"1\">\n<li>The first thing that you need for mounting devices is a Mount Point. Think of a mount point as a cloth hanger, and the device\/file as your clothes \u2013 if you need to hang your clothes, you need a hanger. Similarly here, we need a Mount Point to mount our image to. Note that you need root privileges to create a mount point. Get into the terminal and type \u201c<strong>su<\/strong>\u201d to login as a super user. Next, use this command to make a mountpoint:\u00a0mkdir \/mnt\/iso<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"226\" src=\"https:\/\/dicc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-min-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dicc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-min-4.png 473w, https:\/\/dicc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-min-4-300x143.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Make a Mount Point<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\" start=\"2\">\n<li>Browse to the directory that has the .iso file you want to mount. Use this command cd [directory path] for example, if your file is in\u00a0\/media\/1234, type\u00a0cd \/media\/1234\u00a0This command would take you to the desired directory. Once you\u2019re in, we need to just point to the ISO and tell Linux to mount it to the mount point that we had created earlier. To do so, use this command:\u00a0mount -o loop isoname.iso \/mnt\/iso<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/dicc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-min-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dicc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-min-3.png 473w, https:\/\/dicc.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-min-3-300x126.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Change Directory and Mount ISO<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\" start=\"3\">\n<li>The ISO is now mounted at the desired mount point.
