volumio operating system on a microsd if you have a chromebook

[jasonC]

I have a pi2 with a allo dac.
My issue is getting the volumio image onto a microsd card.
I can buy a card with the software on it for 20euros plus delivery
but if poss would rather do it myself, though i only have a chromebook and for the life of me and not being very tech minded
and issues to much due to sight issues (affecting how much time i can look at a screen for ) i'm having a hardtime trying to burn the volumio software onto a microsd card.
any guardiance i would very much be thankful for.
if it is not possible then i will know just to buy the card from Europe.
I assume for streaming tunein and tidal and accessing music from hdd volumio is best.

you need to image the program with a program like Win32DiskImager or etcher. format an sd card of 16gb using SD Memory Card Formatter

Hi Grant
Sadly seems i can not use them on a chromebook,
chromebook runs chrome os and not windows
i can only download software from the android store.

download NOOBS and unzipp it. it should just copy on to an sd card. no idea if noobs works with volumio tho. or you could get someone with a pc to do it for you. once volumio is installed it will update within itself without having to remove card

thanks for the advice, yes i will maybe see if i can find someone with a pc to help.

You need to use 'Chromebook Recovery Utility'. Maybe that is what you are trying? I do not have a Chromebook, but there are a couple of 'how tos' on the web.
