Build

Run build.sh to make a x64 build:

./build.sh

Once it is complete, you will find an "build" directory in the root of the repo.
The binary is only a single file! To run, simply run ./raspi-imager from "build". You can copy this binary anywhere.
You can run ./build.sh --clean to clean the output directory, and ./build.sh --help to see more options.

Telemetry

This fork fully disables Telemetry!

In order to understand usage of the application (e.g. uptake of Raspberry Pi Imager versions and which images and operating systems are most popular) when using the default image repository, the URL, operating system name and category (if present) of a selected image are sent along with the running version of Raspberry Pi Imager, your operating system, CPU architecture, locale and Raspberry Pi revision (if applicable) to https://rpi-imager-stats.raspberrypi.com by downloadstatstelemetry.cpp.

This web service is hosted by Heroku and only stores an incrementing counter using a Redis Sorted Set for each URL, operating system name and category per day in the eu-west-1 region and does not associate any personal data with those counts. This allows us to query the number of downloads over time and nothing else.

The last 1,500 requests to the service are logged for one week before expiring as this is the minimum log retention period for Heroku.

On Windows, you can opt out of telemetry by disabling it in the Registry:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Raspberry Pi\Imager" /v telemetry /t REG_DWORD /d 0

On Linux, run rpi-imager --disable-telemetry or add the following to ~/.config/Raspberry Pi/Imager.conf:

[General]
telemetry=false

On macOS, disable it by editing the property list for the application:

defaults write org.raspberrypi.Imager.plist telemetry -bool NO
