### **Installation Steps**


**1. Download the CoreELEC Image**

* Get the correct `.img.gz` file from the Dream Elite server:

```

```


**2. Prepare Your SD Card**

* Insert the SD card into your computer.

* Open your flashing tool (Balena Etcher or LibreELEC Creator).

* Select the downloaded `.img.gz` file and choose your SD card as the target.

* Once flashing is complete, insert the SD card into the Dreambox Two's card reader.

* Power on the device. It will automatically boot from the SD card into CoreELEC.

* **Note:** The first boot will take several minutes and may include an automatic restart.


**4. You're Ready!**

* After setup, you can begin using CoreELEC and Kodi.

* Bluetooth remotes are typically detected and paired automatically.

4. Turn the device back on using the remote or the power button—it will now boot into DreamOS.

**Summary:** This guide explains how to install CoreELEC onto an SD card to run Kodi on a Dreambox Two. The process involves downloading the system image, flashing it to an SD card, and booting from it. You can easily switch back to the original DreamOS by removing the SD card and rebooting.
