# Embux on a Raspberry Pi | ||
|
||
This guide explains installing Embux on Raspberry Pis. Raspberry Pis are small computers around the size of a credit card. | ||
Raspberry Pis are based on ARM processors, so this means we will use an ARM image. | ||
|
||
## Requirements | ||
|
||
* **Raspberry Pi:** A Raspberry Pi. This document covers Raspberry Pis 3 and 4. Other Raspberry Pis are supported officially but are less common and thus not documented here. This device will later be referred to as a "Pi". | ||
* **Computer:** Besides a Pi, a larger computer. | ||
* **SD Card:** An SD card. This is where the Embux system will be stored. Pis do not have a hard disk so they rely on portable storage solutions like SD cards. A USB is also supported. **Don't flash the old Pi OS SD card, as we will be keeping it as a backup.** | ||
|
||
## Disclaimer | ||
|
||
Tinkering with your Pi can cause damage, which could potentially brick the Raspberry Pi. Be careful with your actions. | ||
|
||
## Instructions | ||
|
||
1. Download the Embux image from the repository linked in the sidebar: **Embux Repository**. You may need to scroll down. | ||
2. Open a flashing tool. Embux recommends [balenaEtcher](https://etcher.balena.io) for flashing images. You can also try [Rufus](https://rufus.ie) on Windows. | ||
3. Insert the USB or the SD card. The device must have at least 2 GB for it to store the `tiny` image, or around 3.5 GB for the `template` image. Choose an image with `piboot` in the name, the others contain the installer but we are looking for an image that can be used as a portable OS. | ||
4. Click the flash button to flash the Embux installer onto your storage device. | ||
5. Remove the storage device. Shut the Pi down, then insert the storage device into it. | ||
6. Power on the Pi again. Login with username `piboot`, password `embux`. | ||
|
||
Congrats! You have a working Embux setup on your Pi! |
