Steps:
# Download the image .# Decompress the image with a Zip-compatible program such as "unzip" (link to be providedLinux)or WinZip (Windows).
# 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>).
#* 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.
