| − | === Using the Installer ===
| + | Refer to [[Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix Installation]] for instructions on preparing an SD card containing the Remix software. |
| − | | |
| − | The easiest way to install the Remix is to use the [[:fedora:Fedora_ARM_Installer|installer]] program.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Needed:
| |
| − | * A computer with at least 5 GB of free disk space, running one of these operating systems:
| |
| − | ** Fedora
| |
| − | ** Windows Vista or Windows 7
| |
| − | ** Other Linux
| |
| − | * An SD or SDHC card, with a capacity of 2GB or more. (Good-quality class 4 cards usually work well). Do ''not'' use a MicroSD card with an adapter -- it will not be recognized by the Raspberry Pi.
| |
| − | * An SD/SDHC card writer, either built in to the computer or connected to a USB port.
| |
| − | * An Internet connection.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Steps:
| |
| − | # Download the installer from the appropriate link:
| |
| − | #* Fedora (link to be provided)
| |
| − | #* Windows (link to be provided)
| |
| − | #* Other Linux (link to be provided)
| |
| − | # Run the installer.
| |
| − | # Click the refresh (circle-arrow) button to retrieve a list of available images and mirror locations.
| |
| − | # Select the image you wish to install ("Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 14") -- or, if you have already downloaded the image file, browse to that file's location.
| |
| − | # Select the device on which you wish to install the image (WARNING: all data on this device will be deleted! - be sure you have selected the correct device).
| |
| − | # Click "Install".
| |
| − | # Wait until the program states that the installation is complete before removing the card.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Using the dd Command ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The image can also be installed using the Unix/Linux dd command.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Needed:
| |
| − | * A computer with at least 5 GB of free disk space, running some form of Unix or Linux.
| |
| − | * An SD or SDHC card, with a capacity of 2GB or more. (Good-quality class 4 cards usually work well). Do ''not'' use a MicroSD card with an adapter -- it will not be recognized by the Raspberry Pi.
| |
| − | * An SD/SDHC card writer, either built in to the computer or connected to a USB port.
| |
| − | * An Internet connection.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Steps:
| |
| − | # Download the image (link to be provided)
| |
| − | # Insert your SD/SDHC card into the card reader, and attach to the computer if necessary.
| |
| − | # Identify the device node of the SD card (this will be something like <code>/dev/sdc</code> or <code>/dev/mmcblk0</code>).
| |
| − | #* Do not use a partition device node (for example: use <code>/dev/sdc</code> or <code>/dev/mmcblk0</code>, not <code>/dev/sdc1</code> or <code>/dev/mmcblk0p1</code>).
| |
| − | #* An easy way to identify the card is to list the device nodes (<code>ls -l /dev/sd* /dev/mmcblk*</code>) before and after inserting the SD card. Device nodes that that appear when the card is inserted correspond to the card.
| |
| − | # Ensure that the device is unmounted.
| |
| − | # Copy the image file to the card: <code>dd if=/dev/''NameOfImageFile'' of=/dev/''DeviceNode''</code>
| |
| − | # Ensure that the image is fully written onto the card: <code>sync</code>
| |
| − | # Remove the card.
