The Raspberry Pi 4 is seriously impressive, with some considerable hardware improvements over the Pi 3. As a result, many are picking it up to use as a Linux computer. One of the best operating systems to run on the Pi 4 is Rasberry Pi OS. Here\u2019s how to get it set up.<\/p>\n

\"iinstall<\/p>\n

Downloading Raspberry Pi OS with desktop<\/h2>\n

Before you can get going with Raspberry Pi Desktop, it needs to be downloaded. Currently, the place to get this operating system for your Raspberry Pi 4 is through the Raspberry Pi Foundation website, on the \u201cOperating Systems\u201d page.<\/p>\n

Once on the Operating Systems page, scroll down the page till you locate \u201cRaspberry Pi Desktop\u201d. Next, you\u2019ll see a Raspberry Pi 4 model, followed by several different download links.<\/p>\n

Select the second download link that says \u201cRaspberry Pi OS with desktop,\u201d and click on the blue download button to start the download process. Or, if you have a torrent client and prefer to torrent the OS, click on the \u201cDownload torrent\u201d button, and it will launch inside a torrent app and download.<\/p>\n

The download should only take a few minutes to complete, as it is only 1,180 MBs in size. When the process is complete, head over to the next section of the guide to create the Raspberry Pi OS installation image.<\/p>\n

Creating the Raspberry Pi OS installation SD Card<\/h2>\n

Raspberry Pi OS is a Raspberry Pi operating system, and it needs to be installed on an SD card from a computer. The installation process is called \u201cflashing.\u201d Essentially, taking the OS from the download website, flashing it to your SD Card using a flash tool.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to flash the Raspberry Pi OS installation image to an SD card to use on the Raspberry Pi 4. In this guide, we\u2019ll focus on the Etcher application. Why? Etcher is cross-platform, meaning it works the same on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows, so you\u2019ll get the exact instructions no matter what computer you use to make the installation SD card.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To get started, download the latest release of the Etcher app to your computer by visiting the official Etcher website. Then, start up the app and plug in your Raspberry Pi 4 SD card into the computer using the card reader.<\/p>\n

Once Etcher is open, and the SD card reader is connected, find the \u201cFlash from file\u201d button, and select the Raspberry Pi OS ZIP archive you downloaded. Then, find the \u201cSelect target\u201d button.<\/p>\n

When you choose the \u201cSelect target\u201d button, you will need to select your SD card in the UI. After choosing your SD card, find the \u201cFlash!\u201d button, and select it with the mouse to start the flashing process.<\/p>\n

The flashing process will not take long. When the process is complete, move on to the next section of the guide to continue the installation process.<\/p>\n

Setting everything up<\/h2>\n

Insert your SD card into the Raspberry Pi 4, connect your keyboard, mouse, power cord, etc., and power it on. Once it powers on, be patient! The first boot may take a bit of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Raspberry Pi OS finishes booting for the first time, you\u2019ll see a message that says, \u201cWelcome to the Raspberry Pi Desktop!\u201d. Click on the \u201cNext\u201d button at the bottom of this window to continue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the next page, you will need to select your country, language, and timezone. For example, if you are American, check the \u201cUse US Keyboard\u201d box. When you\u2019ve set everything up, click the \u201cNext\u201d button to continue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to change the default Raspberry Pi OS desktop password to something you prefer to use on the third setup page. Using the mouse, click on the \u201cEnter new password\u201d text box, and enter your password. Then, click on \u201cConfirm new password\u201d to enter it a second time. When done, click \u201cNext.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll now need to configure how Raspberry Pi OS Desktop handles your screen layout. If you see black bars on either side of the screen, check the box \u201cThis screen shows a black border around the desktop.\u201d If not, leave it blank, and click on the \u201cNext\u201d button to continue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the screen configured, the next step is to configure the WiFi.\u00a0 Use the UI, connect your Raspberry Pi 4 to the network over WiFi, and press the \u201cNext\u201d button to continue.<\/p>\n

Note: If you\u2019ve connected your Raspberry Pi 4 via Ethernet, this step doesn\u2019t apply to you. Click the \u201cSkip\u201d button to skip it.<\/p>\n

Once WiFi is connected, you\u2019ll need to update the operating system. In the \u201cUpdate Software\u201d window, click on the \u201cNext\u201d button to start checking for updates and installing them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When all of the updates are installed, the initial setup process for Raspberry Pi OS Desktop is complete. From here, click on the \u201cRestart\u201d button to reboot your machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
