Server install image

The server install image allows you to install Ubuntu-Server permanently on a computer for use as a server. It will not install a graphical user interface.

Choose this if you have a computer based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). Choose this if you are at all unsure.

For 64-bit ARMv8 processors and above.

For POWER9 and POWER10 Little-Endian systems.

For RISC-V computers. Requires copying your own first stage bootloader (like u-boot) and relevant DTBs onto the image before usage on real hardware (like the SiFive HiFive Unmatched).

For IBM System z series mainframes, such as IBM LinuxONE.

Netboot tarball

The netboot tarball contains files needed to boot the Ubuntu-Server installer over the network.
