yeah would be good to provide links and info on the wiki, [nextcloud.com/box](http://nextcloud.com/box) isn’t very technical so I don’t think it fits there. ---

For OSX you can use the app “Pi Filler 1.3” [for OS X 10.5 Leopard through 10.10 Yosemite] download it at this website. [http://ivanx.com/raspberrypi/](http://ivanx.com/raspberrypi/) Works very easy. Open the app, select the image file. Insert SD and wait till it says its ready. ---
