'''[https://os.zynthian.org/2019-06-26-zynthianos-stretch-lite-1.0.0-RC3.zip Download Zynthian "Aruk RC-3" SD-image]'''
'''[https://os.zynthian.org/zynthianos-last-stable.zip Download Last Stable ZynthianOS SD-image]'''
It's a 8GB compressed image file (plenty of soundfonts) compiled for Raspberry Pi 3. (Please, keep feeding the torrent after downloading!)

These SD card images include all the Zynthian software, properly configured for working with the official kits. Completely ready to use. Plug and play!

After downloading the SD-image, you have to write it to a SDcard. You need a SD card with a minimum size of 16GB, although you can use a bigger one if you want.
After downloading the SD-image, you have to write it to a micro-SD card. You need '''a micro-SD card with a minimum size of 16 GB''', although you can use a bigger one if you want.
If you don't know how to do it, you can use [https://etcher.io/ Etcher] (free software works on Mac, Windows or Linux) to flash the image onto the SDcard. Or do it manually! There is a really good manual for this at [https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/ this link].
