- In a terminal window, write the image to the card with the command below, making sure you replace the input file `if=` argument with the path to your `.img` file, and the `/dev/sdX` in the output file `of=` argument with the correct device name. **This is very important, as you will lose all the data on the hard drive if you provide the wrong device name.** Make sure the device name is the name of the whole SD card as described above, not just a partition. For example: `sdd`, not `sdds1` or `sddp1`; `mmcblk0`, not `mmcblk0p1`.

- Please note that block size set to `4M` will work most of the time. If not, try `1M`, although this will take considerably longer.

In Linux it is possible to combine the unzip and SD copying process into one command, which avoids any issues that might occur when the unzipped image is larger than 4GB. This can happen on certain filesystems that do not support files larger than 4GB (e.g. FAT), although it should be noted that most Linux installations do not use FAT and therefore do not have this limitation.

The following command unzips the zip file (replace 2018-04-18-raspbian-stretch.zip with the appropriate zip filename), and pipes the output directly to the dd command. This in turn copies it to the SD card, as described in the previous section.

- If you are using an older version of `dd`, the status option may not be available. You may be able to use the `dcfldd` command instead, which will give a progress report showing how much has been written. Another method is to send a USR1 signal to `dd`, which will let it print status information. Find out the PID of `dd` by using `pgrep -l dd` or `ps a | grep dd`. Then use `kill -USR1 PID` to send the USR1 signal to `dd`.
