-  - Use 7-zip to extract the image, you will get a file with **Disc icon** (circling in picture){{::1.png?400|}} 
-  - Open Balenaetcher, insert your SD card or SSD drive, select the image you extracted and SD card or SSD drive, click flash! {{::2.png?400|}} 
-  - Once it finish flashing the image. Plug the SD or SSD drive to pi4 and power on the Pi 4. (It needs some time to start up) 
-  -  Power on the Pi 4 and wait a few minutes to start. In the mean time log into your router to see what the IP address is of your Pi 4 if you plan on going headless (ask Qortal tech for help finding your IP if you do not have access to your router). If you are using a monitor, keyboard and mouse ignore last. 
-  - If you are going headless (using a different computer to log into the pi 4 desktop) then on windows open up Remote Desktop Connection. If on Linux or Mac download your version of windows remote desktop.  
-  - Enter the IP for your Pi 4 and click connect. Click yes when it asks about connecting and if you trust the certificates. 
-  - Log in. Username: pi Password: dmax911e 
-  - Open the terminal and enter the command line: sudo raspi-config. Scroll down to advanced settings hit enter, select expand file system and select it. When it is done select exit and it will ask for you to reboot. Click yes. 
-  - Open terminal and input the commands below: 
- 
-    * Download qortal core: (Some releases have qortal core included check the details on the git) 
-<code>wget https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.zip 
-unzip qortal.zip</code> 
-    * Start the core: (Qortal core 2.0 will auto-bootstrap then sync up.  If it looks like the image below, that means your core is running now!) 
-<code>cd qortal 
-chmod +x *.sh 
-./start.sh</code>{{:3.png?400|}} 
- 
-**How to Run Qortal UI **  
-

-yarn run server & </code> 
- 
-Then go to the web browser. Type localhost:12388 (Qortal UI Login will pop up.)  
- 
-Note: For Headless, you will need to set up a tunnel to your pi4  
-See SSH tunneling: 
-http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=ssh_tunneling 
- 
-**BrooklynR Kernel features:** 
- 
-  - Hardened the Kernel security. No more local exploits. 
-  - Locked the memory copy b/w internal and external memory devices 
-  - Added Entropy hardware for maxed out entropy. Far more than an i7 Processor.  
-  - Thermal control. Yes you can add fans and they will auto start when the temp hits 51C 
-  - SPH implementation of crypto functions 
-  - Updated crypto algorithms 
-  - Full SoC encryption enabled on board the CPU for UI and Core speedup 
-  - Overclocking assist now supported on 4B rev 1.2 and above. 
-  - 32 is enabled by default. You will not need 64 bit. 
-  
-These releases can guarantee uptime of years without a single reboot or stall. 
- 
-No one will ever need to reboot a Pi 4 anymore, provided you use the recommended power bricks.  
- 
-Users have option of Headless releases or with a full featured accelerated Desktop GUI Release: QortalOS NXT LXQT, QortalOS NXT GNOME, Plasma, XFCE, Cinnamon, Russcade or Plumbus.
