## Downloading the preconfigured image ## Downloading the complete image
DietPi needs some initial configuration to support TeraHz. To shorten the process, The easiest way to get TeraHz is to download the premade complete image and

micro SD card, class 10 or higher is recommended for snappy performance. The
recommended image writer is Etcher
Please note that while this installation process is the easiest to perform, it
does not guarantee the most recent TeraHz software. Complete images take time to
prepare and despite the developer's best efforts aren't guaranteed to be always
up-to-date.
## Downloading the clean DietPi image and installing TeraHz manually
This process is a bit more involved, but the version of TeraHz installed is
guaranteed to be the latest one available from the repository.
The SD card image used in this case also contains some pre-configuration, but no
TeraHz code is installed. To install TeraHz, you'll need a console access to the
Raspberry Pi, preferably an SSH console over a wired network. DietPi is configured
to get an IP over DHCP. A tool such as arp-scan on linux is very helpful at determining
the device's IP address.
After connecting to the Raspberry Pi with username `root` and password `terahz`,
TeraHz can be installed by cloning the Git repository and running the `etcs/install.sh`
script.
```
git clone https://github.com/cls-02/TeraHz.git
cd TeraHz/etcs
./install.sh
```
When the installation completes, reboot the Raspberry Pi and it will
automatically boot into TeraHz.
