The command you provided is used to create a bootable USB drive from a Windows ISO file using the WoeUSB tool. Let's break down the command:

  • woeusb: This is the command to invoke the WoeUSB tool.
  • --device ${path-to-windows-iso}: This flag specifies the path to the Windows ISO file you want to use for creating the bootable USB drive. You need to replace ${path-to-windows-iso} with the actual path to your Windows ISO file.
  • ${-dev-sdX}: This parameter specifies the target USB device where you want to create the bootable drive. You need to replace ${-dev-sdX} with the actual device identifier of the USB drive. The sdX part represents the specific device identifier, such as sda, sdb, etc. Make sure to choose the correct device identifier that corresponds to your USB drive.
