Getting embassyOS
|
|
-----------------
|
|
After building your device, you need a copy of embassyOS.
|
|
|
|
* Visit the `latest embassyOS release page on Github <https://github.com/Start9Labs/embassy-os/releases/latest>`_ to download an image of embassyOS. It is ``eos.tar.gz`` for Linux/Mac and ``eos.zip`` for Windows.

#. Download the ``eos.tar.gz`` file and open a terminal in the directory you save it to
|
|
#. (Optional, but recommended) Verify the checksum against the one listed on GitHub:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
sha256sum eos.img.gz
|

Installing embassyOS
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Once you have the embassyOS image, you will need to flash it onto a microSD card.
|
|
|
|
#. Download `balenaEtcher <https://www.balena.io/etcher/>`_ onto your Linux, Mac, or Windows computer.
|
|
#. Insert the microSD card into your computer, either directly or using an adapter.
|
|
#. Open balenaEtcher.

|
|
|
|
#. Click "Select Image" and select eos.img.
|
|
#. Click "Select Target" and select your 32GB microSD card.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Be certain you have selected the correct target microSD card. Whatever target you select will be completely erased and replaced with embassyOS.
|
|
|
|
#. Click "Flash!". You may be asked to (1) approve the unusually large disk target or (2) enter your password. Both are normal.
|
|
#. After the flash completes, you may remove the newly flashed micro SD card from any adapter, insert it into your Embassy's SD card slot, and continue to the :ref:`Initial Setup <initial-setup>` or :ref:`Update by reflashing <manual-update>` instructions.
