Hey i have problems with the installation. After clicking the installation button, this text shows up (command 'unsquashfs -f -dest /rpool/ROOT/pve-l -i /cdrom/pve-base.squashfs' failed with exit code 1 at /usr/share/perl5/Proxmox/install.pm line 1023). I don't know what its meens to me.
 
Hi,

that normally indicates a corrupted image and/or bad medium.

What installation medium did you use? CD/DVD? USB flash drive? Virtual CD via IPMI/BMC?
What hardware are you trying to install on?
Did you follow our guide to correctly create a bootable medium: Prepare Installation Media?

The Image is on a SD-Card, plugged in to a Reader. Proxmox should be installed on an SSD.
I used the Raspberry Pi tool to flash the SD-Card.

Have you also verified the checksum of the downloaded ISO? Maybe it got corrupted in transport.

Can you try writing the ISO using simple & reliable dd? Or something like Balena Etcher?
Don't know the tool, but maybe it does some weird, hardware-specific things not applicable to PCs.

That should work, but I'd suggest trying out another SD card and/or reader or even a USB flash drive just in case.
