Raspberry pi - Raspbian OS installtion

Raspbian OS is one of the Linux distro, its specially for Raspbian boards.

Hardware Requirements:

1. Windows PC for Download image from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

2. Internet Connection

3. Memory card reader

Software Requirements:

Writing the image:

Insert the SD card into the laptop/pc and run the image writer. Once open, browse and select the downloaded Raspbian image file. Select the correct device, that is the drive representing the SD card. If the drive (or device) selected is different from the SD card then the other selected drive will become corrupted. SO be careful.

After that, click on the "Write" button in the bottom. As an example, see the image below, where the SD card (or micro SD) drive is represented by the letter "G:\"

Once the write is complete, eject the SD card and insert it into the Raspberry Pi and turn it on. It should start booting up.
