====== Writing Raspberry Pi4 Image To SD Card ====== - The Raspberry Pi4 image you downloaded needs to be extracted and written onto an SD card. #Extract the compressed image file tar -xzvf MESHdesk-Pi4-11-NOV-21-0.img.tar.gz #This will create the file MESHdesk-Pi4-11-NOV-21-0.img - Any SD card bigger than 8G will work. - We use **Raspberry Pi Imager** to write the image for us onto the SD card. {{:md:pi_imager.png|}} * Once the writing process is done you can insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi4 and power it up. * There is a dedicated Wiki page on the first time configuration of the Raspberry Pi4 after boot up.
