tar -xf path/to/...img.tar.gz

Find sdcard

Find the device name you want to apply the image on. Note that the name could be different on your system. In this example my sdcard is shown:

lsblk

NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
mmcblk0     179:0    0  59.6G  0 disk

Flash image to SD-Card

Make shure to identify the right device. This command overwrites target data:

sudo dd BS=4M if=path/to/extracted/...img of=/dev/mmcblk0

Resize image

Insert image to loop device

sudo modprobe loop
sudo losetup -f
sudo losetup /dev/loop0 myimage.img
sudo partprobe /dev/loop0

Resize partition on image

gparted /dev/loop0

Release loopdevice

sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0

Find last sector of image partition table

fdisk -l myimage.img
