Get up and running

Download and write the latest Raspian image to a SD-card:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

sudo dd if=[img-file] of=[/dev/diskX]

Set up Wireless:

Edit wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces to be dhcp and use wpa_supplicant:

allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf iface default inet dhcp

Create or edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf with network settings:

update_config=1 network={   ssid=”MyWLAN”   psk=”mysecretpasswd”   proto=RSN   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK   pairwise=CCMP TKIP   group=CCMP TKIP }

You might have to do a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Update Raspian when booted and raspi-config is set up.

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

To get jack out sound as default if the RPI is connected to a HDMI monitor:

sudo amixer cset numid=3 1

Synchronize the time (for Curl/SSL to function properly with certificates)

sudo apt-get install ntpdate sudo ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com

Update the firmware:

sudo rpi-update
