1 New Aruk SD-Images (Stretch-based)
We are working on the next official Zynthian SD-Image, Aruk, based in Raspbian Stretch and built using a the CustomPiOS system (thanks @guysoft!!). Currently we are quite close to the final release and have a third Release Candidate (RC-3):
ZynthianOS "Aruk" RC-3 (MD5-sum)
and if you really like to be in the cutting edge, try the nightly builds:
ZynthianOS nightly builds
but, if you do so, please, check in the Jenkins panel that the build is green.
Note: There are no torrents for Aruk SD-images yet. When the final release is out, we will prepare the torrent files for faster and more reliable downloading.
2 "Gorgona Omega" SD-Images (Jessie-based)
DEPRECATION WARNING!! Gorgona Omega is at the very end of its life cycle and it's not longer maintained nor fixed. If you use it, probably you will have problems for updating. I strongly suggest using the new Aruk SD-image (see below).
The easiest way of getting the software is to download the torrent file for the latest official SD card image from here:
Download Zynthian "Gorgona Omega" SD-image, configured for Kits v2 SHA1: 601ab5e58d3f08b7cda6f5821d396f6622e93106
Download Zynthian "Gorgona Omega" SD-image, configured for Kits v1 SHA1: 53ce2ba3c055698d27108750c2b80313f904c921
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.
Use Etcher (free software works on Mac, Windows or Linux) to write the image onto the SDcard. Or do it manually! There is a really good manual for this at this link.
NOTE: RBPi2 is not currently supported by the latest official zynthian SD images, so if you want to use a RBPi2, you may need to build your own SD image.
3 Build your own image
If you like, you can build your own SD image following these instructions:
Building the SD Image using the Setup Script
Also, you would like to try the new experimental docker-builder (thanks @guysoft!!):

4 Problems with Torrent?
In case you have troubles using Torrent, you can download the Gorgona Omega image from these links:
Please, try first with torrent and don't use these "direct download" links unless you really need it:
- Zynthian server have limits and if everybody is trying to download the SD images directly from there, it will get overloaded and forum, wiki and other Zynthian services will be slower.
- Torrent should download faster than direct download links because you are downloading from several sources at once.
