Ordered the CanaKit Raspbery Pi starter kit from Amazon, mainly because it came with a breadboard and a case.
Installing Operating System
The kit came with an 8GB SD card with the NOOBS operating system (for beginners at raspberry pi) pre-installed. Nice touch, but I didn't want to use NOOBS, I wanted to use a Raspbery Pi version of Debian so that I can hack this thing up. I downloaded an image file from http://www.raspberrypi.org/ (it was a zip file, containing an img file).
Step 1: Find your SD card
I plugged my SD card into my Mac OS X (running 10.8), and ran this command to list all the devices:
$ diskutil list dyld: DYLD_ environment variables being ignored because main executable (/usr/sbin/diskutil) has __RESTRICT/__restrict section /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *250.1 GB disk0 1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS Cronus 249.2 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 /dev/disk1 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: FDisk_partition_scheme *7.9 GB disk1 1: DOS_FAT_32 NOOBS 7.9 GB disk1s1 /dev/disk2 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: Apple_partition_scheme *16.7 MB disk2 1: Apple_partition_map 32.3 KB disk2s1 2: Apple_HFS Flash Player 16.7 MB disk2s2
That means my sd card is at /dev/disk1.
Step 2: Unmount card
Now I unmount the SD card:
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1 Unmount of all volumes on disk1 was successful
Step 3: Write image to SD card
For the last step, you use dd (disk formatter utility) to write that image to your SD card:
$ sudo dd bs=1m if=2014-06-20-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk1 2825+0 records in 2825+0 records out 2962227200 bytes transferred in 1571.202055 secs (1885325 bytes/sec)
The above command took 27 minutes on my system.
