**April 2021: Good news everyone, see the [updated post](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/1013).**

Raspberry Pi released a new [Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-imager-imaging-utility/) tools for easily flashing image files to SD cards. While the info-beamer installation is already [incredibly simple](https://info-beamer.com/doc/installing-on-windows), the new tools is quite shiny and since yesterday, info-beamer OS can also be installed using it. [Get the tool](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/), then start it like this:

```nohighlight
rpi-imager --repo https://info-beamer.com/repo.json

```

You’ll be greated by the main menu:

Clicking on CHOOSE OS allows you to select the version to flash:

After that you can select and SD card and click on WRITE to flash the image to an SD card. Maybe there’s a way to get info-beamer to be included directly within the official OS selection. I’ve opened up an [github issue](https://github.com/raspberrypi/imagewriter/issues/21) about this.
