The complexity of these varies, and it can be easy to write the image to the wrong place.
We recommend the free, open source balenaEtcher.
In a web internet tool, go to thebalenaEtcher home page.
Look for the green button to download Etcher.
double-check that the text in the button says that the download is for your operating system.
If not, grab the drop-down arrow to the right of the button.
The download should only take a few seconds to complete.
Depending on the operating system, the install will vary.
Windows users will have an EXE to run and install.
The Mac version comes in a DMG.
Linux users will find an AppImage to run from the downloaded directory.

Look for where the USB is mounted.
This step is critical.
You must write to the correct drive; otherwise, you could overwrite data on another drive.
On Windows and Mac, it is in the list of applications.
On Linux, launch the AppImage that you downloaded.
Etcher offers a simple interface that’s divided into three columns.
Go to the first column and snag the Android ISO file.
In the second column, opt for USB drive.
When you’re certain that everything’s right, selectFlashto write the ISO to the USB.
This process erases everything on the USB, so make backups before you flash.
The Etcher screen switches to show the progress in writing the USB drive.
When Etcher is done, the screen displays a message that the image was successfully written to the USB.
Remove the USB drive and use it anywhere you choose.
