Or, if the ISO file is not very large, such as a driver disk, you can copy it to [Yandex.Disk](https://ra1ahq.blog/en/kak-skachat-fail-iz-oblaka-yandeks-disk-s-dokachkoi)(my path to Yandex Disk is **/home/vladimir/Yandex.Disk**). ### Creating a Mount Point You need to create a folder - a mount point for ISO images ``` sudo mkdir /media/iso ``` ### Connecting an ISO image #### Method 1: Using the Command Line We make sure that the required source file is in place: ``` cd /home/vladimir/Yandex.Disk ``` if it is in a folder, execute a CD into it, for example, ``` cd Terratec ``` looking through the folder ``` ls *.iso ``` Let's mount the ISO file using the mount command: ``` sudo mount ./terratec.iso /media/iso -o loop ``` Important: at the end of the mount command, be sure to specify the -o loop parameter. It involves using a ring device to connect a physical device as a folder (mapping). The command mounts the source ISO image using a ring device to the target mount point /media/iso. The "mount" command with the "-o" option can only be executed by a superuser, since only the superuser "root" can use the "-o" option, a synonym for "--options" in the "mount" command. This limitation is due to the fact that only the user who mounted it can unmount the file system. Now you can use the disk in the /media/iso folder: view it, copy or run files as if the disk was physically located in this folder (but this is only a projection using the loop device of the image from the ISO file, read-only). #### Method 2: in a file management program (as a regular user) You need to click on the ISO file and select "Mount disk image" from the context menu. ![mount-iso](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/8/1/e/5/7/81e57e15315b7e64d51c253c3888501f613eed88-mount-iso.png "mount-iso") Or, open the file using "Disk Image Mounter" ![mount-iso-2](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/4/b/2/b/5/4b2b5af9e15cdd9293ae3916216ca4aa1f498980-mount-iso-2.png "mount-iso-2") ### Using a mounted disk In the command line it is possible to navigate to a disk folder. If the drive was mounted to a folder using the sudo mount command: ``` cd /media/iso ``` or, if the disk was mounted using the GUI: cd /media/username ls cd folder\_name Or in Disk Explorer a line with the name of the disk will appear on the left side of the window - the disk can be opened for viewing by clicking **left mouse button**. If you connect the ISO via the GUI, the image will be mounted in the folder **"media"** of current user: `/media/username/`. ![explore](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/d/8/e/1/e/d8e1e727486741b4a869803dbe5327a8236768b3-explore.png "explore") ### Unmounting a disk (umount) #### Method 1: Run the command from the command line ``` sudo umount /media/iso ``` #### Method 2: In Explorer (PCManFM), on the left side of the window, click on the icon **"Extract"**. ![umount](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/0/b/9/3/1/0b9313e9b189895c99858198333c002d7b39a030-umount.png "umount") Enter the administrator password if prompted. --- **Links:** \*[How to mount ISO File on Linux -
