1. Power off your console
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
1. 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
1. Copy the otherapp payload for your model/region/version from `otherapps_with_CfgS_11.17.zip` to the root of your SD card, then rename the payload to `otherapp.bin`
    + Do not add the `.bin` extension if you do not already see it
1. Copy `boot.firm` and `boot.3dsx` from the Luma3DS `.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

1. Copy `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` from the SafeB9SInstaller `.zip` to the root of your SD card
1. Create a folder named `3ds` on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
