Add a user called local, this leaves the pi user as is.
 
This can save reformatting and reinstall when the Pi is to be reused.
 
 
add a user called ''local''
 
 
sudo adduser local

You may change the hostname by changing the name in /etc/hostname. If you do so, then you should probably restart before the new hostname works.
 
 
Now from another PC on the local network
 
 
ping hostname.local
 
 
where "hostname" is replaced with the hostname in /etc/hostname.
 
 
=== Get filesystem on normal Linux PC ===
 
 
From another (Linux) PC, mount the raspberry filesystem
 
 
mkdir rpi  (where the filesystem will be mounted)
 
sshfs local@10.59.8.141: rpi    (replace IP number with inet address from above, or use ''sshfs local@hostnale.local: rpi'')
 
 
Then in directory ''rpi'' the user files on the raspberry can be manipulated.
 
 
for other access, use (with IP address as found above, or IP replaced with ''hostname.local'')
 
 
ssh -X local@10.59.8.141

Contents

[edit] Prerequisite

  • Raspberry pi - version 3 or 4
  • SD-card preferably at least 16Gb
  • Monitor with HDMI (version 3) or micro HDMI (version 4) cable
  • keyboard - and optional a mouse
  • Access to network (wired or wifi)
  • Power - either an USB charger or cable to a PC (micro USB (version 3) or USB-C (version 4)

It should be possible to start using USB or wifi connection from a PC without extra screen or keyboard, find solutions on internet - I have not tried.

[edit] Make SD card a FAT32 partision, if reusing an old card

A new SD-card is fine as is, else

see http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/blog/2013/06/noobs-for-raspberry-pi/ for instruction to prepare any old or new SD-card

[edit] Add boot-files to SD card

[edit] RPI imager

Version 10 (buster) is easily installed using the 'Raspberry pi imager', on Linux install with

snap install rpi-imager
rpi-imager

and follow the screen

[edit] manual

or

Get the install zip-file from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/

Then unpack NOOBS zip-file to the new disk (use the newest version), like for the network version

unzip NOOBS_lite_v3_5_1.zip -d /media/xxx/yyyy  or
unzip ~/Downloads/raspberry/NOOBS_lite_v3_5_1.zip  (if you are on the empty flash)

or for the full version

unzip NOOBS_v3_5_1.zip -d /media/xxx/yyyy  or
unzip ~/Downloads/raspberry/NOOBS_v3_5_1.zip  (if you are on the empty flash)

[edit] Reboot

  • Insert SD card on Raspberry,
  • Mount a heatsink - especially needed on version 4,
  • Connect monitor, keyboard and (USB) power

That is all, Raspberry should boot on that, and take some time to prepare the SD-Card. Or see instructions on e.g.: https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/

  • Boot the raspberry and install the Raspberry Pi OS full (Debian).
  • On the bottom of the screen select keyboard layout and language,

Settings

  • Leave the pi password as is (for future reuse)
  • Select language (prefer English - also for future reuse)
  • select wifi access - if not using a cable.

[edit] Usefull Linux commands

Here are some common commands in Linux

ls     (directory file list)
cd     (change to home directory)
cd some_directory    (change to a subdirectory)
exit   (logout, e.g. of a ssh session)
grep -n string_to_look_for_in_a_file  *.cpp     (find a string in a file, e.g. a variable or a function)
sudo some_command    (execute a command as "root" - root is a superuser with administrator rights to everything)
pkill some_application_name  (stop (or kill) a running process with name "some_application_name")
pgrep some_application_name  (see if a process is running - good to use before a kill)
mv  from_file to_file    (rename a file)
cp  from_file to_file    (copy a file)
rm  some_file            (remove (delete) a file)
nano some_file           (simple text editor)
zip, unzip               (pack or unpack files -  try zip --help   to see how.
top     (see process load and memory usage)
make    (compile all as described in the "Makefile" in the same directory)
make -j4 (compile using up to 4 CPU cores - faster if more files need to be compiled)

All commands have an online help if you add --help or -h after the command. If this is not enough, then try

man ls

to get the manual page for the ls command.

[edit] Configure

[edit] Raspberry

use raspi-config, start a terminal:

sudo raspi-config

Using raspi-config

Enable Camera
Set hostname (one word, no space)
Enable SSH
Disable Serial login
boot as a console with login
Update firmware
Set locale to "en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8" (danish keyboard, but English language)

[edit] Update operating system

Ensure you have internet access, then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
Personal tools
Namespaces

Variants
Actions
Navigation
Toolbox
