System reinstallation
In some cases, you will need to restore your Panther system to its default settings:
- in case of accidential damage of the system,
- to update the OS
- to clear all user changes and restore factory settings.


User Computer system reinstallation
This process will differ depending on the User Computer model you have.
Intel NUC (PC02) / Lenovo ThinkStation (PC03)
To install system on Intel NUC or Lenovo ThinkStation, you can download created ready to use Ubuntu 20 image.
- Download image from here: Ubuntu 20.04 + ROS Noetic.
- Create bootable pendrive with Etcher, but you can use any other tool you prefer.
