It is recommended that you use at least an 8GB card. In order to access the tools required, you first disable the video from the web interface. Once the video has stopped playing, press ctrl+alt+F1. This will allow you to login with user ‘pi’ and the password ‘raspberry’. When logged in, simply type sudo raspi-config and select ‘Expand root file system’.
