Installation Guide for BirdNET-Pi

  • Insert a microSD card in the computer with the Raspberry Pi Imaging software.
  • The size of the microSD card needs to be 16 GB.
  • Open the Raspberry Pi Imager and click CHOOSE OS to select the operating system for BirdNET-Pi.
  • Click Raspberry Pi OS (other) Other Raspberry Pi OS based images

  • Scroll down the list and select "Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit)"

  • Next, click "CHOOSE STORAGE" to select the SD card the BirdNET-Pi will use

  • Choose the SD card onto which we will write the RaspiOS-Lite (64-bit) operating system

  • Now, click the gear icon in the bottom right to open the "Advanced options" menu

  • Answer Yes - to fill in WiFi details


  • Set the hostname you would like this BirdNET-Pi to use to be reached. For example,
