MikroTik netinstall-cli for automated RouterOS device flashing. Use when: automating netinstall, writing scripts that invoke netinstall-cli, building netinstall tooling, understanding etherboot/BOOTP/TFTP protocols, working with RouterOS package files (.npk), using modescript or configure script, or when the user mentions netinstall, etherboot, or device flashing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# RouterOS Netinstall
This skill focuses on **official Netinstall / `netinstall-cli` behavior**. `tikoci/netinstall` is a useful wrapper and source of grounded examples, but it is only one way to drive the tool.
## What `netinstall-cli` Does
Netinstall reinstalls RouterOS onto a device that has booted into **etherboot** mode. The Linux tool, `netinstall-cli`, listens for BOOTP requests and then sends the RouterOS boot image and selected `.npk` packages.
Grounded behavior from MikroTik docs:
- Netinstall **re-formats the system drive**
- It **does not erase the RouterOS license key**
- It **does not reset RouterBOOT settings**
- It works over a direct **Layer 2** path using **BOOTP/DHCP ports** and **TFTP**
- It requires **root / sudo**
`netinstall-cli` is the Linux command-line variant. The Windows GUI exposes nearly the same core options.
## Command Syntax
```text
netinstall-cli [-r] [-e] [-b] [-m [-o]] [-f] [-v] [-c]
[-k <keyfile>] [-s <userscript>] [-sm <modescript>]
[--mac <mac>] {-i <interface> | -a <client-ip>} [PACKAGES...]
```
## Flags
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `-r` | Reinstall and apply the default-configuration stage |

How to install
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-netinstall@sha256:b7f9f78a4dade662The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260417.77838ab, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
