Install Raspbian RAW image into an SD Card in Linux

First download a Raspbian RAW image from here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

Plug-in your SD card into your PC. Then use df -h to see the name of the disk device of it:

$ df -h
S.ficheros     Tamaño Usado  Disp Uso% Montado en
/dev/sda1         55G   12G   40G  23% /
udev             994M  4,0K  994M   1% /dev
tmpfs            402M  804K  401M   1% /run
none             5,0M     0  5,0M   0% /run/lock
none            1003M  768K 1002M   1% /run/shm
none             100M   32K  100M   1% /run/user
/dev/mmcblk0p1   3,8G  4,0K  3,8G   1% /media/SDCARD

In my case the SD Card is mounted as /dev/mmcblk0p1. Once you know this unmount it:

$ umount /dev/mmcblk0p1

Now it’s time to copy the Raspbian image in the SD Card using dd but we don’t want to write it to the partition but to the whole device, so we have to remove the last p1 from the mounting point:

$ sudo dd bs=4M if=2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/mmcblk0

Finally flush all the data just in case:

$ sudo sync
