VenusOS image Raspberry Pi SD card from Linux

I'm trying to image VenusOS onto an SD card for Raspberry Pi from a Linux computer (Debian, specifically). I'm not familiar with the tools for creating a filesystem from a .wic file. The VenusOS wiki lists tools for Windows, but nothing for Linux. I haven't found any clear instructions from the web searches I've tried.

How do I image VenusOS onto an SD card from Linux?

@Crashkopf you can use the dd command. The wic file is the input file and the sd card is the output. You can do a man dd for more information on the command line parameters for the tool.

Thanks for your help. The file extension was what threw me off, but knowing that it's a compressed image file I was able to write to the SD card with the following invocation:

sudo sh -c 'zcat venus-image-raspberrypi2.wic.gz > /dev/mmcblk0'

Seit dem neu flash gestern der SD Karte in meinem Raspberry 3 B + hab ich keinen zugriff mehr auf meine VRM ID und es wird als "fremdzugriff" gewertet

Download Balena Etcher on to your Linux PC, it's an AppImage. This can then be used to write your OS to the sd card.
