 +=== ReImage MicroSD Card === 
 +Prepare your microSD card to connect with your computer, and open your preferred Imaging Software. The [[https://​www.raspberrypi.com/​news/​raspberry-pi-imager-imaging-utility/​|RaspberryPi Imager]] is made to work with RaspberryPis,​ the micro-computer running Vizy, and has its own '​how-to'​ which might be helpful. Run the Imager, select '​Custom OS' to locate the Vizy Image file downloaded in step 1, and select the microSD as the storage target.
