This tool downloads the latest version of the NOOBS distribution from the RASPI foundation, and creates an .img file that can be dd'ed straight onto a factory-bought SD card. The point is to put NOOBS onto blank store-bought cards in a way that they will boot automatically - eg. to be used with bulk card programmers, etc.
Navigate to a clean working directory.
Execute the following command: curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michaelruppe/NoobsImageBuilder/master/buildNoobsImage.sh | bash
The script will take some time to download the NOOBS zip and generate a .img
