The
dd
command reads the image file
2015-01-31-wheezy-raspbian.img
and
writes it to the SD card. It writes the data in chunks of one megabyte.
This command can take anywhere from a few minutes up to half an hour,
depending on the size of your SD card. When this is done, insert the SD card
into your Raspberry Pi and you are ready to go.
