Proxmox VE Install Guide

Proxmox VE can be installed using an installation CD-ROM that includes the Debian operating system and all necessary Proxmox packages. The installer partitions disks, installs packages, and configures the system with a basic network setup. Alternatively, it can be installed on an existing Debian system, but this is only recommended for advanced users. The installation CD-ROM includes tools for administering virtual machines, containers, and resources with a web-based management interface. Disk partitioning and package installation take a few minutes to complete a fully functional Proxmox VE system.
