Are you looking to install MikroTik ROS on a VPS or Cloud hosting? If so, this is the easiest method to give it a try. I have personally used this approach numerous times since 2018.
1. Create new instance VM ( i prefrer Debian or Ubuntu ) then boot on it.
2. Check disk and partition, and take note of active partition :
$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 98.1G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 90G 0 part /
├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0 8.1G 0 part [SWAP]
3. Mount tempfs to /tmp :
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp/
4. Download RAW image from https://www.mikrotik.com/download :
cd /tmp
wget https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/7.11.2/chr-7.11.2.img.zip
5. Extract image and flash it to disk :
gunzip -c chr-7.11.2.img.zip > chr.img
dd if=chr.img of=/dev/sda bs=4M oflag=sync
6. Enables the Magic SysRq key then Reboot :
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
System will reboot and boot up Mikrotik Router OS.
