== SD Card Installation Using the Installer ==
The easiest way to install the Remix is to use the <!-- [[:fedora:Fedora_ARM_Installer|installer]] --> installer program.
'''For the most up to date information on using the Installer, please visit the [[:fedora:Fedora ARM Installer|Fedora ARM Installer Wiki Page]]'''
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.
{{Admon/important|Danger of Data Loss / System Damage|The selected device will be overwritten. If you select the wrong device, you may lose data. Exercise care when using the installer program.}}
Steps:
# Download the installer:
#* On a Fedora 18 (or higher) system: <code>yum install fedora-arm-installer</code>
#* For other operating systems, see the [[:fedora:Fedora ARM Installer|Fedora ARM Installer]] wiki page.
# Run the installer.
# Click the refresh (circle-arrow) button beside the Download list to retrieve a list of available images.
# Select the image you wish to install ("Pidora 18") -- or, if you have already downloaded the image file, browse to that file's location.
# Click the refresh (circle-arrow) button beside the Device list to retrieve a list of possible target devices for the installation.
# 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.
{{Admon/important|Danger of Data Loss / System Damage|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 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=''NameOfImageFile'' of=/dev/''DeviceNode''</code>
# Ensure that the image is fully written onto the card: <code>sync</code>
# Remove the card.
