Format the SD card

Download the latest Rasbian OS from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/.
Unzip the package: unzip 2015-05-05-wheezy-raspbian.zip
Copy the contents to the SD card: dd bs=1M if=2015-05-05-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/sdb, where /dev/sdb is the path to the SD card.
Insert the card to the raspberry and connect the power.
