+# Copy an image to an SD card
+
+## On Windows
+* Download and install **[Win32 Disk Imager](http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/)**
+* Plug your SD card in
+* Copy the `raspberry-latest.img` file to your SD card using Win32 Disk Imager.
+
+## On GNU/Linux, BSD or Mac OS X
+* Open a terminal
+* Plug your SD card in
+* Identify the device name by typing:
+
+```bash
+sudo fdisk -l
+```
+
+It should be `/dev/diskN`, where `N` is a number, or `/dev/sdX`, where `X` is a letter.
+
+* Copy the image by typing:
+
+```bash
+sudo dd bs=1M if=/path/to/your/raspberry-latest.img of=/your/device/name
+```
+
+Do not forget to change `/path/to/your/raspberry-latest.img` and `/your/device/name` with the appropriate values.
+
+The command may take a few minutes, then your SD card will be ready to use. **:-)**
