Install

With the new version of the OS you can just use SD Card Copier from the accessories menu.

We assume that you have already imaged and are booted up with the SD Card.

1. Terminal

Open the terminal windows 

Change the boot option with this command from the terminal window

sudo raspi-config

Once in the menu choose Advanced Options

Then choose the option Boot Order

Then choose the option NVMe/USB Boot

From the Accessories menu, run the copier from you SD card to the SSD as this will copy you SD to your new SSD.

Then change the boot order back on the SD card to use on another device.

Follow the privious instructions but use this final option

Shutdown your Pi

sudo shutdown

Take out your SD card before powering on

DEPRICATED

rpi-clone is on github and is downloaded by cloning the repository. It is a standalone script and the install is a simple copy to a bin directory. When run it checks its program dependencies and offers to install needed packages. But currently rpi-clone knows how to install only Debian packages with apt-get.

On a Raspberry Pi:

 $ git clone https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone.git $ cd rpi-clone $ sudo cp rpi-clone rpi-clone-setup /usr/local/sbin

Clone to the drive you need the drive first with 

lsblk

Then clone to it

sudo rpi-clone sda

Make sure /usr/local/sbin is in your $PATH and then run rpi-clone or rpi-clone-setup with no args to print usage.
