Use Raspbian OS

You can donwload this OS in two ways from here here. An app to install the OS into a SD card from your computer or a second way to manually install it.

Use the distrubution fit your way.

Troubleshooting:

Can’t read the SD card

If you face this issue, you can download a sofwtare for SD formatting from here. This will completetly remove and erase all SD contents.

  1. Install NODE / Yarn

We’ll last version of NODE as it explains here:

Node.js v14.x:

# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Yarn shows the steps to follow per OS here:

curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install yarn

Install pip

sudo apt-get install python-pip -y
