Installing prebuild image

[wouterverduin]

Hi all!

I am looking for some help. I want to get my respeaker 2 hat working with my Pi Zero 2W. However, im at a loss at the instructions...

You can burn the image to your sd card with the [Raspberry Pi Imager tool](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/). You can set wifi credentials, ssh public keys and other settings before you burn the image to your sd card. In order to use the feature where you can change the settings in the Raspberry Pi Imager >=v2.5.0 you need to set a custom image repository.

At the link, the latest version is 2.0.7. I can select a generic raspberry pi OS but cant seem to input the .json anywhere?
Also running this command:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Raspberry Pi Imager\rpi-imager.exe" --repo https://github.com/florian-asche/PiCompose/releases/download/rpi-imager-json/rpi-imager.json doesnt work with that version and gives this error:

`At line:1 char:62

• ... Program Files\Raspberry Pi Ltd\Imager\rpi-imager.exe" --repo https:/ ...

•                                                          ~~~~
  

Unexpected token 'repo' in expression or statement.

The '--' operator works only on variables or on properties.

What am i missing here?

Hi, not sure what problem you have. Just took out my Win10 Installation and tested the 2.0.7 RPI-Imager with this cmd:
"C:\Program Files\Raspberry Pi Ltd\Imager\rpi-imager.exe" --repo https://github.com/florian-asche/PiCompose/releases/download/rpi-imager-json/rpi-imager.json

It was running perfect and was able to find the json file.

This is the way I did it but for macOS using Raspberry Pi Imager version 2.0.7

Go to "https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/"

Download, install, and run Raspberry Pi Imager for Windows.

On the bottom left, click on APP OPTIONS

For "Content Repository" select "EDIT"

Select "Use custom URL"

Paste the following into the box:
https://github.com/florian-asche/PiCompose/releases/download/rpi-imager-json/rpi-imager.json

Click "APPLY & RESTART"

When it restarts, select your Device, OS, and storage.

You can setup customization at the same time so answer all the questions so things will be setup when the board boots.

I have found that user and password don't always work so be prepared to use the defaults of "pi" and "raspberry" as documented.

Did anything change? Any new information?
