This lesson is part of the Raspberry Pi and Python Module. This Lesson is an introduction to the Linux Operating System (OS), and the Linux command line terminal . Linux is the Operating System that the Raspberry Pi typically uses. This lecture will introduce Linux, the Raspbian Desktop and some useful Linux commands
Learning Objective:
You will be able to navigate around the Raspberry Pi Linux desktop menus
You will navigate and update the Raspbian OS
You will learn about some useful Linux command line commands
You will learn how to make additional updates and add applications to your OS
Prerequisites:
No explicit prerequisite course work or coding knowledge is required, but students are expected to have a good understanding of basic computer principles
Knowledge of Linux is useful, but not required
Caution & Safety Considerations:
Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting the Raspberry Pi, Arduino's, computers and other electronic equipment.
