Here we are not using AppImage because the official repository of the balenaEtcher is available to add on our Debian based Linux systems. Just copy and paste the below command:
In the above command, we are creating a separate list of repo under the sources.list.d directory. This will ensure that the file that used to incorporate the official repo links will be safe and intact.
Step 3: Add GPG key of Bintray
Bintray is universal software distribution service and perhaps distributes the balenaEtcher packages as well, thus our system needs to trust on it, for that we have to add its GPG key. This will ensure whatever the packages we are receiving are from the original source and didn't alter by someone.

As we know it is a cross-platform tool thus whatever steps we are going to show here will be common for all operating systems.
We can create a bootable USB stick in just a few steps:
- To flash a disk image, first, connect the pen drive to your system.
- Run balenaEtcher program.
- Select the desired image file, which can be in IMG or ISO formats or as a compressed ZIP file.
- Now, select the USB stick, the external hard drive or the memory card connected to your system. If you have only one connected device, the program will automatically select that. The internal hard drives installed on the system will now show on the Etcher software, hence, it prevents you from accidentally selecting the wrong drive and deleting it during the copying process.
- In the third step, you start the flash process by clicking on the Flash button.
- BalenaEtcher then checks the copied data for errors and issues a message if necessary. In this way, you can be sure that the image has been transferred to the data carrier without errors.
