Now that you download the YunoHost image, you have to copy its content to an SD
|
|
|
|
card. This step is also sometimes called 'flashing' the SD card.

In the context of self-hosting, it is recommended that your SD card be at least
|
|
|
|
8 GB (to have a reasonable space available for the system and a few data) and at
|
|
|
|
least Class 10 (to ensure reasonable performances).

### With `dd`

If you are on Linux / Mac and know your way around command line, you may also
|
|
|
|
flash your SD card with `dd`. You can identify which device corresponds to your
|
|
|
|
SD card with `fdisk -l` or `lsblk`. Assuming your SD card is `/dev/mmcblk0` (be
|
|
|
|
careful !!), you may run :
|
2014-06-05 01:25:25 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
2018-04-16 18:44:22 +02:00
|
|
|
dd if=/path/to/yunohost.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
|
2014-06-05 01:25:25 +02:00
|
|
|
```

This step is optional as it should be performed automatically during the first
|
2018-04-16 18:44:22 +02:00
|
|
|
boot on recent images.

|
|
By default, the root partition of your SD card is very small.
|
2018-04-16 18:44:22 +02:00
|
|
|
You can resize it by using software like `resize2fs` (command-line) or `gparted`
|
|
|
|
(graphical).
