TASK-7
INSTALL RASPBIAN OPERATING SYSTEM
Aim: Install Raspbian operating system.
Procedure:
Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized single-board computer designed and manufactured

by the Raspberry Pi foundation in the United Kingdom. Raspberry Pi has an ARMv6
700 MHz single-core processor, a Video Core IV GPU and 512MB of RAM. it uses
an SD card for its operating system and data storage. The Raspberry Pi officially
supports Raspbian, a light weight linux OS based on Debian.
Model Variants:
Hardware:
● 4 Models: A, A+, B, B+
● 85.6mm x 56mm x 21mm
 The size of your student ID
● ARM1176JZF-S Processor
 Typical clock size is 700 MHz, performing at approximately 40
MFLOPS
 Can be over clocked to 1GHz without any issues
● Includes Video Core IV graphics processor w/ 1 billion pixels per second
● 512 MB of RAM is built into the board, not replaceable or upgradeable
● Includes multiple built on I/O ports
 100 MB/s Ethernet port
 HDMI port and RCA port
 Audio Jack
Architecture:
If you bought your Pi as part of a kit, you probably got everything you need right in
the box, but if you just have the board, you'll need the following:
 A power source
 A micro SD card (at least 8GB)
And, unless you plan to do a headless install or the Raspberry Pi and use it via remote
desktop or SSH (controlling it from a PC), you will need.
 A keyboard (wired or wireless)
 A mouse or other pointing device (could be built into the keyboard)
 A monitor or TV to connect to (via HDMI)
 HDMI cables
Powering Your Pi:

The Raspberry Pi 4 B and Raspberry Pi 400 (which is just a 4 B inside a keyboard)
are powered via a USB Type-C port, which requires a charger that can output 5 volts
and 3 amps. Most USB Type-C phone chargers don't have enough amps to get the job
done, unless they have USB PD capability, but USB-C laptop chargers should all
work. While it's unlikely to be a problem, note that Pi 4 models that were
manufactured in 2019 or early 2020 have a bug which prevents them from charging
over high-speed data cables that support USB 3.x 5 or 10 Gbps connections.
All other Raspberry Pi models, including the Raspberry Pi 3 B and Pi Zero / Zero W,
get power via a micro USB port, which means that you can give it juice by
connecting it to just about any of the many different third-party chargers or even by
attaching it to one of your computer's USB ports. While you can get away with giving
the board a lot less electricity (the Pi Zero W runs perfectly off of my laptop's USB
port), the optimal power source for a Raspberry Pi 3 should have 5 volts and 2.5
amps, which also provides plenty of power for any peripherals you attach to its USB
ports.
There are a number of power supplies that are made specifically for Raspberry Pis,
including this Can a kit model for older Raspberry Pi’s and this Vilros model for the
Pi 4. Some third-party chargers come with on/off switches, but you shouldn't use
them to power down.
The Pi doesn't have a built-in power switch, so the default way to turn it on is to plug
it in. However, to avoid data loss, you'll want to use the shutdown feature in your
operating system (OS) before unplugging or switching it off.
Downloading and Installing Raspberry Pi OS:

Once you have all the components you need, use the following steps to set up your
Raspberry Pi using a Windows, Mac or Linux-based PC (we tried this on Windows,
but it should be the same on all three).
1. Insert a micro SD card / reader into your computer.

2. Download and install the official Raspberry Pi Imager. Available for
Windows, mac OS or Linux, this app will both download and install the latest
Raspberry Pi OS. There are other ways to do this, namely by downloading a
Raspberry Pi OS image file and then using a third-party app to “burn it,” but the
Imager makes it easier.
3. Click Choose OS and select Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) from the OS menu (there
are other choices, but for most uses, 32-bit is the best).

4. Click Choose SD card and pick the one you’re using.
5. Click Write. The app will now take a few minutes to download the OS and write
to your card.
Configuring Raspberry Pi OS:
If you are prompted for a username and password, the default username is "pi", and
the password is "raspberry". If you're concerned about security, you'll want to change
these. On first boot, you will probably be given a "Welcome to the Raspberry Pi"
dialog box, which takes you through the process of choosing important settings.
1. Click Next on the dialog box and then select your country, language and
keyboard type.
2. Change your default password on the next screen or leave it blank for it remain
as "raspberry."
3. Select the appropriate Wi-Fi network on the screen after, provided that you are
connecting via Wi-Fi. If you don't have Wi-Fi or are using Ethernet, you can skip
this.
4. Click Next when prompted to Update Software. This will only work when you are
connected to the Internet, and it can take several minutes. If you are not connected to
the Internet, click Skip.
5. Click Done or Reboot (if prompted to reboot).
If you are not shown a "Welcome to Raspberry Pi" dialog box or you wish to change
these settings later, you can find the region and password settings, along with many
other options, by clicking on the Pi icon in the upper left corner of the screen and
navigating to Preferences -> Raspberry Pi Configuration. You can configure Wi-Fi
by clicking on the Wi-Fi / network icon on the taskbar.
connecting remotely to a raspberry pi:
First make sure your Pi is connected to your WiFi or to your network using
an ethernet cable. On your Pi, open the terminal window then type:
(sudo apt-get install xrdp)
This will install remote desktop server

Now you need to find the IP address of your raspberry pi. To do this type
hostname –I:
You want the first IP address that appears. In this example 192.168.1.4. Keep a note
of this, you’ll need it to connect to your Pi remotely. You’ll also need your Pi’s
username and password.
On your PC open the remote desktop app. Type ‘remote desktop’ into the search field
on the bottom left of your screen. Click ‘remote desktop connection’.
In the connection window, enter the IP address you made a note of earlier.
Now log in using your Pi’s username and password.

You’ll be able to use your Pi as normal
