Raspberry Pi Install Operating System

To get your device up and running we need to install the Operating System.

You can:

1) Use NOOBS, and copy NOOBS to a USB Keyfob and boot the device. This can be problematic when trying to re-install the OS.

2) Download the Raspian image and use RUFUS to burn the image to a USB (Need at least 2GB USB Drive).

3) Preferred = Headless. Download the Raspian image and use ImageUSB to burn the image to your SD card.

Option 2:

If you are getting started, download the Desktop version. Eventually you can use the “Lite” version which does not have a desktop.

The desktop takes up CPU and memory but you can use it as a computer.

Choose Desktop or Lite

Extract / Unzip the disc image file from the ZIP file.

Burn the disc image to a USB keyfob –

Connect to WiFi

sudo raspi-config

If using the desktop version, in the upper right you might see to red XX – this is where you can select WiFi.
