Chapter 1 Setting up your Raspberry Pi

1.0.0.1 Prerequisites:

  1. A class 4 Micro SD card of at least 8GB size
  2. A Raspberry Pi 3 board (obviously, but you can also do the same with a lower model Pi along with a wifi-dongle)
  3. A USB cable with an adapter to power the Pi up
  4. Keyboard and Mouse (USB)
  5. A Monitor or a TV as a display for thr Pi
  6. Display connection cables: HDMI cable/ HDMI to VGA converter(if your monitor does not have an HDMI port)
  7. Ethernet cable if you want to access internet through ethernet on the Pi which actualy we do want(Pi 3 comes with a built-in wireless LAN card which is very useful for our purpose, otherwise we would have needed a Wifi-Dongle)
