- download an image from the “Disk images” section of the download page
- find and uncompress the image:
gunzip ~/Downloads/OSMC_TGT_rbp2_20160502.img.gz
(use the path of the image you downloaded) - check the list of mounted devices:
df -h - insert your SD card
- check the list of mounted devices again:
df -h - note the filesystem path of the SD card which appeared in the list, e.g.
/dev/sdd1 - unmount the filesystem:
sudo umount /dev/sdd1
(use path from the list) - repeat for any extra partitions on the SD card, e.g.
sudo umount /dev/sdd5 - copy the image onto the SD card:
sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Downloads/OSMC_TGT_rbp2_20160502.img of=/dev/sdd - IMPORTANT: this destroys all data on the device. Make sure you type the correct device path for your SD card. Otherwise you might wipe your hard disk or SDD drive.
- make sure the SD card is ready to be removed:
sync - remove the SD card, insert it in your Raspberry Pi and power up
See the Installing Operating System Images on Linux page on the Raspberry Pi website for more details.
