          The simplest way is to use the <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/">Raspberry Pi Imager</a> which enables you to select an Ubuntu image when flashing your SD card.
        </p>
        <p>If you are on Ubuntu, open the terminal and run:</p>
        <pre><code>sudo snap install rpi-imager</code></pre>
        <p>
          And follow our <a href="/tutorials/how-to-install-ubuntu-desktop-on-raspberry-pi-4#1-overview">Desktop</a>, <a href="/tutorials/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-raspberry-pi#1-overview">Server</a> and <a href="/download/raspberry-pi-core">Core</a> tutorials to get started.
