This tool makes it easier to download and write the latest version of an image to a device ready for use in a Raspberry Pi. It has the added benefit as it also gives users a verbose output showing for example how long the write will take.
Installation is easy:
# Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/moebrowne/RPi-Image-Manager
# Change directory
cd RPi-Image-Manager
This tool is completely interactive so just needs executing:
