Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
Copy all files and folders inside the /build/<your console and region>/exploit/ folder from the freakyhax .zip to the root of your SD card
- The root of the SD card refers to the initial directory on your SD card where you can see the Nintendo 3DS folder, but are not inside of it
Copy otherapp.bin to the root of your SD card
Copy boot.firm and boot.3dsx from the Luma3DS .zip to the root of your SD card

Reinsert your SD card into your device
Power on your device

Wait for all checks to complete
When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
Once it has completed, press (A) to reboot your device
Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
- Luma3DS configuration menu are settings for the Luma3DS custom firmware. Many of these settings may be useful for customization or debugging
- For the purpose of this guide, these settings will be left on default settings
- If you get a black screen, follow this troubleshooting guide
Press (Start) to save and reboot
- If you get an error, just continue the next page

At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default.

On the next page, you will install useful homebrew applications to complete your setup.
