Required Software

First this tutorial assumes you are operating on a Ubuntu operating System. Throughout this tutorial, however, we will give instructions for non-Linux operating system users.

Git

To install Git on Ubuntu, type:

$ sudo apt-get install git

7zip (for Windows)

If you are using Windows, you will need 7zip to unpack the rootfs files.

GParted

This utility will be used to partition your micro SD card if you plan to configure your own. On Ubuntu, type:

$ sudo apt-get install gparted

Or, in Windows or Mac, download EaseUS Partition Master, or equivalent tool.
