== SD Card Installation Using the Installer ==
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.
=== SD Card Installation 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.
