The detailed procedure to install the OSMC on Raspberry Pi has been explained in this write-up.
How to download and write the OSMC image on the USB/SD card
We will download the image file of the OSMC from its official website:
The image file will be downloaded in the form of zip folder, extract the file, then open the Raspberry Pi imager and choose the destination of the downloaded image file:
Choose the SD card, then click on the “WRITE” button and a notification will appear once the image of OSMC is successfully written on the SD card:
How to install the OSMC on Raspberry Pi
To install the OSMC on the Raspberry Pi, we will insert the SD card in the Raspberry Pi 4, on which the image file of OSMC has been written. When the Raspberry Pi is turned on the OSMC will start formatting the device:
When it is done with the formatting of the device, it will start installing the OSMC on the Raspberry Pi 4:
It will take only a few minutes to install the OSMC files on the Raspberry PI and when it is completed, it will reboot the system automatically.
How to start up the OSMC on the Raspberry Pi
When the OSMC is installed on the Raspberry Pi as well as it is rebooted, a screen will appears that ask you to set the language for the OSMC:
Here we will choose the “English” but you have a choice, you can choose any other as well:
Then it will ask for the region in which you are using the OSMC to set the time zone:
