Getting started with the Raspberry Pi

This guide will show you how to get started with the Pi. Image credit

Step 1: Etcher

First, download and install Etcher.

Step 2: Download and flash

Now, download this and extract it. You should get an ISO file in return.

Now, open Etcher and select your drive in the “STEP 2: SELECT DRIVE” area.

Select the ISO in the “STEP 1: SELECT IMAGE” area.

Click “FLASH”

Step 3: Final Step

Now, insert the essentials (Display, keyboard, etc. (NOT THE POWER CORD)), as well as the sd card. Now you can go ahead and plug in the power cord. Wait for a few seconds. If you see the green LED labeled “ACT” flash for a second, power on your monitor. The setup will guide you. Follow the setup wizard.

Step 4: Done!

You are done! Here are some commands you should run in the terminal. You don’t have to, but I recommend you do.

BASH

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
