Mainly 2 Methods:

• Click on "Write" Option. Thats it, after the writing of the image to SD-Card is successful, you can insert it to the Hackberry and boot up the Linux .

2nd:
(a):

• If you are having a Linux Host Pc and if you are having a pre-built image for the Hackberry then,
• Unzip the downloaded Image File.
• Run the Command in Terminal as :dd if=yourimagefile.img of=/dev/<device> , press enter . (to know your SD-Card's 'dev' just run the System monitor and in the File System you will find the vfat filesystem as "dev/sdc" or "dev/sdb", just replace the "<device>" with "sdc" or "sdb" depending on your system ) {Warning : Choosing the wrong dev/device could erase your HDD}.   
• After the "dd" finishes type the command " sudo sync" , press enter. Thats it, the Linux OS is installed onto the SD-Card , you can insert it and boot the Hackberry. 

(b)

• If you are having Linux Host but if you don't have a pre-built Hackberry Image then :
• Download the u-boot files (sunxi-spl.bin and u-boot.bin): https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bxr1St4kFOnQRXFwLXVxaGdFUW8&usp=sharing
• Download the Script Files (evb.bin and script.bin): https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bxr1St4kFOnQbjVwUHJOVDFXcG8&usp=sharing
