I'm trying to install Ubuntu to an SD Card, but SD card isn't showing as a target location in the installer.

I'm doing this from a live ubuntu which is running off a usb stick.
OS does see the SD card whenever I plug it in, but for some reason whenever I run the installer I don't have the SD card listed as an option, just the internal HDD and the usb stick which I'm running the live os from.
 
Lsblk showed the sd card up as mmcblk0.

I was able to use the sd card for a live Linux using Live Linux USB creator.

So I created another live Linux on a usb stick with the intention of installing a proper Linux installation on the SD card, but when I run the installer the sd card isn't showing up as a target location that I can install too.
