\#####DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE

* Official images for Raspbian Jessie are available to download from the Raspberry Pi website [Downloads page.](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)
* Do not use Raspbian Lite or NOOBs to install Raspbian Jessie. This causes unexpected results when installing and configuring your Smart-mirror
* After downloading the .zip file, unzip it to get the image file (.img) for writing to your SD card.

\#####WRITING AN IMAGE TO THE SD CARD

* With the image file of the distribution of your choice, you need to use an image writing tool to install it on your SD card.
* See Raspberry Pi's guide for your system:
  * [Linux](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/linux.md)
  * [Mac OS](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/mac.md)
