The following instructions are for creating an SD card using OSX. The process is similar with other operating systems.

  • Download http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest and unzip
  • Determine the device name of your SD card reader on your mac by running the following command before and after inserting the SD card. Look for the newly added disk drive. It is important that you get the correct disk name. If you pick the wrong name, you could wipe out the hard drive in your Mac.
$ diskutil list
  • In this example, the drive name is /dev/disk4
  • Copy the Raspbian image you downloaded to the SD card. Note that I've added an 'r' to the front of 'disk' in the 'dd' command line. This is the unbuffered device and will result in a quicker copy.
$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4
$ sudo dd if=2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/rdisk4
