Quick Start Guide
Documentation[edit]
Documentation is critical to the correct operation and maintenance of the Whonix ™ OS. Further, technical manuals describe the operation and use of programs, and how to set up specialist configurations.
In an effort to create a high-quality, usable and stable OS, the Whonix ™ community is making every effort to provide users with documentation that is more accessible.
Whonix ™ Quick Start[edit]
Newcomers to Whonix ™ are recommended to first start reading:
If possible, have the relevant installation guide for Qubes, VirtualBox or KVM on hand when first installing Whonix ™. It will answer many questions and help users to quickly install, start and update a functional Whonix ™ system for their relevant platform. Users might later want to go through:
- The Whonix ™ Administrator’s Handbook - the comprehensive user manual.
- Whonix ™ Release Notes - for users who are upgrading.
