How to Install
Install is not all too difficult and there are many different ways of doing this. What you will need is a Raspberry Pi like the one pictured above. A MicroSD card is required, I recommend at least a 16 GB SanDisk Ultra. You may or may not want a case but I like them, protect them and cools them. I recommend the Raspberry Pi 4 B, Case with Cooling Fan, Heatsinks for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (RPI 4 Board Not Included) - Black and Clear.
- Format the MicroSD card to be a FAT partition.
- Download the NOOBS installer from the https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ site.
- Unzip the right click and select unzip.
- Copy the entire contents of NOOBS onto the MicroSD.
- Install the MicroSD into the Raspberry Pi and start booting for the first time.
