Noobs is an operating system installation manager that you can add to your SD card. It makes the setup of your Raspberry Pi simple and provides you with an option to try out different operating systems.
If you decide to try out Noobs, we recommend selecting Raspbian in order to follow along with the examples in this book.
Note
The Raspberry Pi website provides an introduction and guide to Noobs at http://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/. You can also download Noobs from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/.
If you have not installed Raspbian via Noobs, then keep reading. Otherwise, you can jump directly to the Raspberry Pi SSH setup section later in this chapter.
