How to install Ubuntu using CLI commands from a live CD?

Question

I was wondering if there is any way of installing Ubuntu from command line using the Ubuntu Live CD. I am aware of the alternate CD text install, but just wanted to know if its possible to do so from the Live CD installer.

You don't need an alternate text-based CD to access command line- you can use key combination Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to TTY1.

You need the text-based alternate install CD....then the installation is in text mode. Or try to change the start options.

Not an easy solution by far, but you can use debootstrap:

The link is no more working… Even https://archive.org/ does not help here. – Melebius May 24 '20 at 06:03
