Go from a [bootc](https://bootc-dev.github.io/bootc/) compatible derived container build to a disk image format:

After building, there are multiple ways you can _use_ the outputting image format.

201
+
-**Virtually:** Use the built-in support in the extension that uses [macadam](https://github.com/crc-org/macadam), see our [usage](#usage) guide.
202
+
-**Third-party software:** Launch the image using your preferred virtualization software, such as VMware, VirtualBox, virt-manager (libvirt), QEMU, or GNOME Boxes.
203
+
-**USB flash drive:** Use tools like [balenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/), [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/) or [Fedora MediaWriter](https://github.com/FedoraQt/MediaWriter) to flash the image to a USB stick. Then boot from it on real hardware.

### Using the `bootc` CLI tool
206
+
207
+
The `bootc` CLI command is the "bread-and-butter" of all bootc-derived images.
208
+
209
+
Once booted into the system, you can manage it using the `bootc` CLI:
210
+
211
+
-**Status:**`bootc status` shows the current image and version.
212
+
-**Upgrade:**`bootc upgrade` pulls the latest OCI image to apply next reboot.
213
+
-**Fetch:**`bootc fetch` pre-downloads an update without applying it.
214
+
-**Install:**`bootc install --target /dev/sdX` writes the OS to a block device, good for when "live booting" on a USB flash drive for testing.
