Choosing a download option

Insert a USB drive with 8Gb or more into your PC or Mac. Windows, MacOS and Linux users can use Win32 Disk Imager, Etcher, Rufus or any other software of their choice. This example shows using Etcher to flash the image:

Add the rig.conf file you downloaded previously to the Hive image drive.
Remove the USB drive from your computer and then insert it into the rig.
