this pc don't have any where to open and put CD in or out , bout have 3 place we can put the USP , can I copy that to USP ?
OK so you don't have a CDROM drive, got that.
No, you can't copy the .iso of Mint onto the USB stick.
You will have to use a program to put the .iso of Mint on the USB stick and make it bootable.
I recommend that you use unetbootin. It only takes a few minutes. If you're running Ubuntu unetbootin should be in the Software Center. https://unetbootin.github.io/
How to Install and Run UNetbootin under Ubuntu Linux
Open a terminal (applications > accessories > terminal)
Type wget unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-linux-latest
Type chmod +x ./unetbootin-linux-*
Type sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
Type sudo ./unetbootin-linux-*
If you wanted to, thejoseph; you could use Rufus or Etcher like ondoho our LQ Addict has suggested.
That is if you have a Windows machine. (wasn't sure if you had one or not or if Windows is installed)
The link that our Guru hydrurga provided for you will certainly help you to understand how to install Linux Mint.
When you have the time it would certainly benefit you to read through the installation process.
