STEP 1 :

Download the Linux mint operating system in an ISO file format from the Linux mint website. First of all open your web browser and download A software called deluge

Deluge is an open source bit torrent application its purpose is to use the torrent protocol to download large size files without errors. We use deluge torrent because if we install large files directly from the browser it may be lost or error in last seconds. That’s why i prefer this method Deluge-torrent.org. By using above link install the deluge then go to the Linux mint website and download the Linux mint latest version i prefer the version in cinnamon 64 bit
