3. Insert your MicroSD Card into your computer or [MicroSD Card Reader](/how-to-build-one/quickstart/picking-a-micro-sd-card-and-sd-card-reader.md), launch Etcher, select the image you downloaded from our website and the inserted card in the Etcher software and hit ‘Flash’.
4. When Etcher is done, put your MicroSD card into your chosen hardware, plug in the power supply and you are ready to go.
