Raspberry Pi Setup

This is where I keep notes to setup Raspberry Pis for various applications.

Initial configuration

Download PuTTY

Connect the Pi to your network & find the IP address

Open PuTTY and open an SSH connection to the Pi & login

To perform any 'Super User' commands (admin), type “sudo” before the command. It stands for Super User DO

Update the software

 > sudo apt update
 > sudo apt upgrade

Change default password

 > sudo passwd

Check installed version of Python

 > python3 --version

Since the Raspberry Pi v2 is fairly slow, this install does not include a desktop environment. Webmin has been installed to help you out.
