# Aroma {docsify-ignore-all}
## SD Preparation
We will now place the required Aroma files on the SD Card.
?> **Notice**
Your SD Card will need to be formatted as FAT32. If your SD Card is not formatted to FAT32, use [GUIFormat](http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm) with 32k (32768) allocation unit size to format it.
**Do not** label the SD Card as `wiiu` or it will cause issues with homebrew.
### What You Need
- The latest files from the [Aroma download page](https://aroma.foryour.cafe).
1. Scroll down to the **Download** section.
1. Read through the steps and click on the checkboxes.
1. Click on `Download Payloads` and `Download Base Aroma`.
- The latest release of the [PayloadLoader Installer](https://github.com/wiiu-env/PayloadLoaderInstaller/releases).
### Instructions
1. Insert your Wii U's SD Card into your PC.
1. **Extract** and copy the `wiiu` folder of the three newly downloaded *`.zip`* files to the root of your SD Card.
- The three `wiiu` folders should be merged if not done automatically.
?> If your computer asks you to overwrite existing files on your SD Card, you will need to click yes.
