New install

    Hi,

    I am trying to make a new install for my Pi 3, but I am having difficulties. my laptop runs Linux Mint 19.1, following your guide I have downloaded LibreElec usb cd creator 32 bit bin file but for some reason it will not open and install. When I click on the download from my download folder a Libre office blank page opens up. I cannot work out how too install creator or go any further. As I am probably doing something wrong some advice please preferably a blow by blow instruction on how to create a micro SD card installed with Kodi leia 18.9.

    regards

    Brian
