Hi,
Initially, as with any OS, you just need to copy the ISO to a bootable USB stick. You can then boot the OS onto a real computer if you like.

You'd need to build a driver into the OS that can wipe an existing drive, format it to MBR, create a boot partition, install the bootloader and copy the OS files across. Although in principle FlingOS can do this, it's not advisable. FlingOS is not intended to be a full OS and as such, attempts to do "big software" like installers tend to crash because the GC isn't implemented fully (it's only ref-counting so it doesn't clean up properly.)

Best regards,
Ed
