## **🛠️ Instructions:**
<hr>
### Prerequisites
KIAUH is a script that helps you to install Klipper on a Linux Operating System that has
already been flashed to the SD card of your Raspberry Pi (or other SBC). So you need to make sure to have
a working Linux system available. A recommended Linux image (in case you are using a Raspberry Pi) is
`Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32bit)`. The easiest way to flash an image like this to an SD card is by using the
[official Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/).

### 📋 Prerequisites
KIAUH is a script that assists you in installing Klipper on a Linux operating system that has
already been flashed to your Raspberry Pi's (or other SBC's) SD card. As a result, you must ensure
that you have a functional Linux system on hand. `Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32bit)` is a recommended Linux image
if you are using a Raspberry Pi. The [official Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/)
is the simplest way to flash an image like this to an SD card.
* Once you downloaded, installed and launched the Raspberry Pi Imager
select the `Choose OS` option and then `Raspberry Pi OS (other)`: \
select `Choose OS -> Raspberry Pi OS (other)`: \

* Then select `Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32bit)`:

* Back in the main menu of the Raspberry Pi Imager select the corresponding SD card you want to
flash the image to.
* Back in the Raspberry Pi Imager's main menu, select the corresponding SD card to which
you want to flash the image.
* Also make sure to go into the Advaced Option (the cog icon in the lower left corner)
* Make sure to go into the Advaced Option (the cog icon in the lower left corner of the main menu)
and enable SSH and configure Wi-Fi.
* If you need more help for using the Raspberry Pi Imager, consider
visiting the [official documentation](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html).
* If you need more help for using the Raspberry Pi Imager, please visit the [official documentation](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html).
These steps only apply if you are actually using a Raspberry Pi. In case you want
to use a different SBC, please find out how to get an appropriate Linux image flashed
to the SD card before proceeding further. Also make sure that KIAUH will be able to run
and operate on the Linux Distribution you are going to flash. Read the Notes
further down in this document.
These steps **only** apply if you are actually using a Raspberry Pi. In case you want
to use a different SBC (like an Orange Pi or any other Pi derivates), please look up on how to get an appropriate Linux image flashed
to the SD card before proceeding further (usually done with Balena Etcher in those cases). Also make sure that KIAUH will be able to run
and operate on the Linux Distribution you are going to flash. You likely will have the most success with
distributions based on Debian 11 Bullseye. Read the notes further down below in this document.
