<p>Since it might happen that your download got somehow corrupted, we publish a checksum/hash for each of our images. You can compare the image’s SHA-256 hash with the one contained in the <code>.sha</code> file.</p>

<p>On Windows, you can download and use the <ahref="https://www.quickhash-gui.org/download/quickhash-v3-1-0-windows/">QuickHash GUI</a> and follow the instructions in the gui. Linux and macOS users can simply do this in the directory with the compressed image and the checksum file:</p>

<p>Write the <strong>.xz compressed image</strong> with a tool like <ahref="https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/usbimager">USBImager</a> onto your <strong>micro-SD card</strong> or <strong>USB drive</strong> (if booting from it is supported). Unlike other tools, it can validate written data <strong>saving you from corrupted SD card contents</strong>.</p>
<p>If you used an SD card insert it into a slot and power on the board. With the cheapest board, the first boot (with DHCP) can take up to two minutes with a class 10 SD card.</p>
<p>The first boot will log you in automatically if you have connected a display via HDMI or if you are connected to the serial console. For SSH, you need to login as <strong>root</strong> and use the password <strong>1234</strong>. If you need to find your board’s IP address, you can use <ahref="https://angryip.org/">this tool</a>.</p>

<p>After logging in, you will be prompted to change the default password. You will then be asked to create a normal user account that will have sudo permissions. Beware, at this stage, the keyboard is using the QWERTY layout. In case you have no wired network connection and there is a wireless adaptor detected, the system will prompt you to connect.</p>
