Start out with a headless (no GUI) Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian)
With the SD Card still mounted in your computer, create a ssh file to start with SSH enabled (Note: no extension, no text)
touch ssh
After a few seconds of letting the SD Card load in the Raspberry Pi find the IP and SSH into it
Start with updating the OS
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade

Install OpenMediaVault (Note: This install will take a few minutes depending on version of Pi and network speed)
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/master/install | sudo bash hostname -I
Make sure you remember the IP address of the Raspberry Pi
sudo reboot
Open the Web GUI URL: (IP address of Raspberry Pi)
(The default username is admin, and the default password is openmediavault.)
Change the default password:
General Settings -> Web Administrator Password
