== Etcher in Linux/Windows ==
Etcher is the tool we use to write image. Download the right Etcher for your PC from [[Rockpi4/downloads]] page and install it.

Check [[https://www.balena.io/etcher/ Etcher website]] for more info about Etcher.

==== Step1: Download necessary tools and image ====
Choose the image you want to install may be from [[Rockpi4/downloads]] page and unzip it. The unzipped image name is like below:

rockpi-4b-*-gpt.img

We will use it for the writing.

==== Step2: Write the image to eMMC module ====

1. Insert the uSD Card into uSD Card Reader, which connects to host computer.

2. Run the application, for example, by executing the command on Ubuntu 16.04:

$ /bin/bash etcher-etcher-electron-1.4.5-x86_64.AppImage

3. In the etcher window, we click button Select image.

Done! Now you have successfully installed the OS image on eMMC module.

Here's an easy way to do it on Linux
<code bash>
radxa$ sudo chmod 777 /dev/<Your eMMC module device>*
radxa$ umount /dev/<Your eMMC module device>*
radxa$ dd if=rockdev/Image/rockpi-4b-*-gpt.img of=/dev/<Your eMMC module device> bs=4M status=progress
radxa$ sync
