Burn microSD Disk Method (RECOMMENDED):

A complete FreqEZ Controller software installation can be created using the Raspberry Pi organization’s Imager program ( https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ ) to burn this image file to a microSD card. The resulting microSD will contain both the Raspbian operating system and pre-configured FreqEZ RPi software. When finished, just insert the microSD card into the RPI and apply power.
