The installer is designed to be easy to use without documentation. This guide provides more information on each of the screens of the installer to guide you through an installation.
This screen lets you select the language for the installer and the default language for the installed system. In case only a basic terminal with limited language support is available for the installation, an alternative is to :ref:`connect via SSH <connect-via-ssh>`.
This screen is shown if there is an update available for the installer. Update the installer to get any improvements and bug fixes made since the release.
Choose the layout and variant of keyboard attached to the system, if any. When running in a virtual terminal, it is possible to guess the layout and variant by answering questions about the keyboard. Select :guilabel:`Identify keyboard` to use this feature.
This screen allows the configuration of the network. Ubuntu Server uses Netplan to configure networking and the installer can configure a subset of Netplan capabilities. In particular, it can configure DHCP or static
If networking is present (defined as "at least one interface has a default route"), then the installer installs updates from the repository at the end of installation.
Use this screen to configure proxy for accessing the package repository and the snap store both in the installer environment and in the installed system.
The installer attempts to use geolocation to find an appropriate default package mirror for your location. To use a different mirror, enter its URL here.
The default user will be an administrator who can use ``sudo`` (this is why a password is needed, even if SSH public-key access is enabled on the next screen).
The final screen of the installer shows the progress of the installer and allows viewing of the full log file. Once the installation has completed and security updates have been installed, the installer waits for a confirmation before restarting.
