Chapter 3 Plugging in your Raspberry Pi

Slot in your Micro SD card into the slot provided on the Raspberry Pi which would fit in only one way
Plug in your USB keyboard and mouse in the port provided on the Pi
Now for display, connect the HDMI cable from the Pi to the Monitor or TV depending on what you are using (you need to make sure that your monitor/TV is turned on and the appropriate mode is selected for display(HDMI/VGA/etc.))
Now plug in the ethernet cable into the ethernet port provided on th Pi next to the USB ports (you can know if its working if your Pi shows a flickering green light when turned on)
When all these cables are plugged in properly, you are ready to fire up the Pi. Just plug in the micro USB power supply and this would turn on and boot your Raspberry Pi

Now after the Pi has completed the boot process, a login will appear where you can use the default settings for login into the Pi: Username - pi, Password - raspberry
When you have succeessfully logged in, you will see the command line prompt pi@raspberrypi~$
Now once you are logged into you Pi, run

bash sudo apt-get update and

bash sudo apt-get upgrade to update your Pi to the newest available updates
