How to mount an ISO file?

Maybe, instead of installing additional software, you can use what the system has to this end:

1. Create a directory to serve as the mount location:

   sudo mkdir /media/iso
   

2. Mount the ISO in the target directory:

   sudo mount -o loop path/to/iso/file/YOUR_ISO_FILE.ISO /media/iso
   

3. Unmount the ISO:

   sudo umount /media/iso
   

On your desktop will appear the mounted ISO.

Try mounting it using a GUI.

Navigate to the *.iso file using a file manager, then Right click -> Open with Archive Mounter.

Or you can install the Furius ISO Mount. It is available in the Ubuntu Software Center:

sudo apt-get install furiusisomount
