Hardware requirements

  1. Raspberry pie 3 b +
  2. A network cable (Raspberry PI WiFi is not very stable indeed, in order to reduce various problems suggest using network cable)

Installing the OPERATING system

I often use Ubuntu, so I chose this operating system. Considering the performance of Raspberry Pi, I chose Ubuntu Server intelligently. Based on previous experience, it is recommended to download the software from the official website to avoid all kinds of weird problems.

The Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi can be found on The Ubuntu website downloadDownload address

Installation method 1:

To install it, follow the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu tutorial on Raspberry PiTo view



This tutorial is about burning an OPERATING system to an SD card using Raspberry Pi Imager. However, this method of downloading an operating system directly from the network and burning it to an SD card is quite slow

Installation mode 2:

This method is to format the SD card and download the operating system, and finally burn the software to the SD card. This method is quick to install. The installation procedure is as follows: Step 1: Download the two software packages and the Image file of Ubuntu Server

  • SDCardFormatterv5 official website address
  • Win32diskimager Download address
  • Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 LTS for Raspberry PI

64-bit operating systems are strongly recommended

Step 2: Use SDCardFormatterv5 to format the SD card

Step3: Use Win32DiskImager to burn the operating system to the SD card. After burning, install the SD card on the raspberry PI to start.

After the preceding steps, the operating system is installed.
