## _*Important*_
For now we are only building and supporting Raspberry Pi 3. Pull Requests are very welcome
if you spot a bug or fix, but for now we suggest obtaining a Raspberry Pi 3 for the best support.

 0. select your SD Card.
 0. Burn.

### Linux/OSX

 1. download the [latest release](#floppy_disk-latest-os-image-downloads).

## Running
_Refer to the [software documentation Configurator page](https://software.farm.bot/docs/configurator) for more detailed instructions._

 1. Plug your SD Card into your Raspberry Pi
 0. Plug your Arduino into your Raspberry Pi
 0. Plug your power into your Raspberry Pi
 0. From a WiFi enabled device*, search for the SSID `farmbot-XXXX`
