Quick Setup CasaOS:

Now we have enough information about the Casa, let's try to install it. Before installing the casa, first boot your Raspberry pi with Raspian OS. Use the Raspberry Pi imager tool to do that.

Once installed, the software opens the tool.

Then select the drive. One of the great features of this tool is we can add the SSH and Wi-Fi credentials directly into the OS file, even without turning on the Raspberry Pi. For that, select the settings icon in the tool.

Next, start burning the OS into the SD card.

Once the writing is finished, insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi.

Then power on the device. The first time it will take some to boot and connect to Wi-Fi to 5–10 minutes and look at your router status, you can see there will be a new device connected to your router.

Next, use serial terminal software to communicate with SSH.

Then run this command to install the casaos.
