The easiest way is to use default pastebin script. Insert an OpenOS floppy disk and an Internet Card into the computer, turn it on and type the following command to console to install MineOS:
pastebin run PDE3eVsL
If for some reason pastebin website is not available to you, use alternative installation command:
wget -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IgorTimofeev/MineOS/master/Installer/OpenOS.lua /tmp/installer.lua && /tmp/installer.lua
You can paste it to console using middle mouse button or Insert key (by default). After a moment, a nice system installer will be shown. You will be prompted to select your preferred language, boot volume (can be formatted if needed), create a user profile and customize some settings
