→Preparing the SD-card
After downloading and unzipping the SD-image, you have to write it to a suitable SD-card. You need a good-quality SD-card with a '''minimum size of 16GB'''. You can use a bigger one if you like.

You can use [https://etcher.io/ Etcher], free software that works on Mac, Windows and Linux, to write the image into the SD-card. You can do it from the terminal too, using ''dd'' or ''pv'' cli tools. There is a really good manual for this at [https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/ this link].

If you are a terminal guy, ''dd'' or ''pv'' will do the task. Don't forget to ''unmount'' the SD partition before burning and make a ''sync'' before extracting the card. Something like that:
umount /dev/sdc1
pv 2023-08-25-zynthianos-stable-2308.img > /dev/sdc
sync
