Required a tutorial to how to install this

Could I know a way to install this?

You can see #42 to install an unstable version which would be more recent, or read the README.md file in the main branch for a stable but obsolete version

@Maxbrewgithub write the "wii-jessie-sd.img.xz" file to an SD card in Linux, you can use the dd command along with the xz and pv commands for decompression and progress monitoring.

Make sure you have the necessary tools installed. If they are not installed, you can install them using your package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems, you can use:

bash

sudo apt-get install xz-utils pv

Decompress the Image:
Use the xz command to decompress the image:

bash

xz -d wii-jessie-sd.img.xz

This will create a file named "wii-jessie-sd.img" in the same directory.

Identify the SD Card:
Before writing to the SD card, make sure to identify the correct device path of your SD card. You can use the lsblk or fdisk -l command to list the available block devices. Be very careful to select the correct device, as writing to the wrong device can result in data loss.

bash

lsblk

or

bash

fdisk -l

Look for your SD card, it will typically be something like "/dev/sdX" where "X" is a letter (e.g., "/dev/sdb", "/dev/sdc", etc.).

Write the Image to the SD Card:
Use the dd command to write the image to the SD card. Replace "/dev/sdX" with the actual device path of your SD card:

bash

sudo dd if=wii-jessie-sd.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress

if: Input file (the image file).
of: Output file (the SD card).
bs: Block size (you can adjust this based on your preference).
status=progress: Displays the progress of the operation.

Be patient, as writing to an SD card may take some time.

Sync and Eject:
After the dd command completes, make sure to sync the file system:

bash

sync

Then safely eject the SD card:

bash

sudo eject /dev/sdX

Now your SD card should be ready with the contents of the "wii-jessie-sd.img" file. You can insert it into your device and boot from it. Make sure to replace "/dev/sdX" with the actual device path of your SD card throughout the process. Double-check your commands and the device path to avoid data loss.

Hey y'all, after a year I figured it out (I lost access to my account now but this is my account)

You didn't, silly
