+## Preliminary steps
+
+- Get the image in good working order on the smallest SD card possible (Raspbian Lite on a 4GB card)
+- On the source pi, boot it up the script in this directory and pay attention that the output matches the expected text 
+- Remove SD card and plug into computer
+
+## Creating a pi image in OSX
+
+- Determine the path of SD card `diskutil list`
+- Run dd, replacing the if param with the device path of the SD card `sudo dd bs=4m if=/dev/disk5 of=pikaraoke.img`
+- Zip the image file, it should clock in under 1.5GB if all goes well
