The quickest way to get started is to use [Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.screenly.io/blog/2022/12/13/anthias-and-screenly-now-in-rpi-imager/), where you can find Anthias under `Other specific-purpose OS`. Alternatively, you can find our pre-built disk images (powered by [Balena Hub](https://hub.balena.io/)) [here](https://github.com/Screenly/Anthias/releases/latest/).

Balena made a [big update to their IoT marketplace](https://blog.balena.io/creating-an-iot-marketplace/). Included in that change is the launch of
|
||||
[Fleets for Good](https://hub.balena.io/fleets-for-good). With that, you may find it hard to find the Anthias images on the marketplace. In the meantime,

||||
You can either click the *Flash* button to open balenaEthcher (make sure that it's installed) or download the image file and flash it using your preferred imager.
|
||||
Flash the SD card and boot up your Raspberry Pi. It will take a few minutes to boot up and start the services.

||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can [download our pre-built Balena disk images from the releases](#using-the-images-from-the-releases).
|
||||
|
||||
### Using the images from the releases
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the latest release [here](https://github.com/Screenly/Anthias/releases/latest). From there, you can download the disk image that you need and flash it to your SD card.
|
||||
The image file looks something like `<yyyy>-<mm>-<dd>-raspberry<version>.zip`. Take note that the `.img` file is compressed in a `.zip` file.
