The Debian installer runs natively on the Hurd and it is possible to install a Debian GNU/Hurd system booting it from an IDE or SATA CD-ROM drive or from a USB stick. See
[installation instructions](http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install) for details and post-installation configuration.
+As of late 2025 installation may require larger amount of RAM (&ge; 2 Gi) due to [[hurd/rump/rumpdisk]] memory requirements. It is possible to install 32 bit Hurd (`hurd-i386`) on lower RAM conditions (~ 500 Mi) using the [CrossInstall](#crossinstall) method, by not loading rumpdisk and using disk drivers in gnumach.
