Introduction


This chapter introduces the Raspberry Pi. It begins by listing the components that you will need, such as a power supply, in addition to the Raspberry Pi.

The core recipes of this chapter describe how to download, install, and configure a number of common Raspberry Pi operating systems.

The last two recipes describe the initial boot of the official Raspbian Linux distribution and how to safely power off the Raspberry Pi.

Once you've completed this chapter, you will have downloaded, installed, and configured an operating system for your Raspberry Pi and booted your Raspberry Pi for the first time.
