== 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). * An SD/SDHC card writer, either built in to the computer or connected to a USB port.* An Internet connection. {{admonAdmon/noteimportant|Info NoteDanger of Data Loss / System Damage|For The selected device will be overwritten. If you select the wrong device, you may lose data. Exercise care when using <code>dd</code>.}} Steps:# Download the image.# Decompress the image with a Zip-compatible program such as "unzip" (Linux) or WinZip (Windows).# Insert your SD/SDHC card into the most up card reader, and attach to date information the computer if necessary.# For running <code>dd</code> on Windows, see this [http://www.myraspberrypiexperience.com/using -dd-for-windows/ tutorial]# Identify the Installerdevice 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>, please visit 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:fedora<code>dd if=''NameOfImageFile'' of=/dev/''DeviceNode'' bs=4M</code>. Note that a block size (''bs'') of 4MB is used. Most SD cards have an erase block size of 4MB and if you do not include this parameter, the image will be copied at extremely slow speeds. On UNIX systems, such as Mac OS X, the ''bs'' parameter needs lowercase units (e.g. <code>bs=4m</code>)# Ensure that the image is fully written onto the card:Fedora ARM Installer|Fedora ARM Installer Wiki Page]]}}<code>sync</code># Remove the card.
== SD Card Installation Using the Installer ==
{{Admon/important|Out of Date|Due to lack of maintenance, this installer is not working properly. Please use <code>dd</code> method instead. We will release a fixed version soon.}}
{{admon/note|Info Note|For the most up to date information on using the Installer, please visit the [[:fedora:Fedora ARM Installer|Fedora ARM Installer Wiki Page]]}}
The easiest way to install the Remix is to use the <!-- [[:fedora:Fedora_ARM_Installer|installer]] --> installer program.
# Click "Install".
# Wait until the program states that the installation is complete before removing the card.
