Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following:

Step 1 – Download the Volumio Image

First, we need to download the Volumio image from the official website. Go to https://volumio.com/ and click on the "Download" button. Select the appropriate image for your device. In this tutorial, we will download the generic x86 image.

wget https://updates.volumio.org/x86/volumio/2.873/volumio-2.873-2021-05-17-x86.iso

Step 2 – Burn the Image to a USB Drive

Next, we need to write the Volumio image to a USB drive. Insert a USB drive into your computer and check its name using the following command:

lsblk

In this tutorial, we will assume that the USB drive is named "/dev/sdb". Use the following command to write the Volumio image to the USB drive:

sudo dd if=volumio-2.873-2021-05-17-x86.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress

Wait for the command to finish, it may take several minutes depending on the size of the USB and the speed of your computer.

Step 3 – Boot from the USB Drive

After the image is written to the USB drive, we can now boot our computer from the USB drive. Insert the USB drive into your computer and restart your computer. During the boot process, press the key that corresponds to the boot menu (e.g. F11, F12 or Delete) and select the USB drive.

Step 4 – Install Volumio

Once you boot from the USB drive, you will see the Volumio installation interface. Follow the wizard to install Volumio on your computer.

Step 5 – Enjoy Volumio

After the installation is complete, you can start using Volumio to play your music. Open your web browser and go to the IP address of your Volumio device (e.g. http://192.168.1.100). You can now access your music library and start listening to your favorite tunes.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Volumio on OpenSUSE latest. Enjoy your music!
