Abstract

Your Raspberry Pi-based computer is now all assembled and working. Now what? It’s time to learn how to use the basic user interface. If you’ve ever used Windows or a Mac, you already know how the mouse and keyboard work, but the menus and controls in Raspian are a little different. We’ll also spend some time explaining several different ways that software and apps can be installed, and this is significantly different from other operating systems, so you’ll absolutely need take a few notes here.
