Easy Install
The PiTFT requires kernel support and a couple other things to make it a nice stand-alone display. We have a detailed
step-by-step setup for hackers who want to tweak, customize or understand the PiTFT setup. If you just want to get
going, check out the following for easy-install instructions!
Ready to go image
If you want to start with a fresh image, we have two for Raspbian. There's the larger 'classic Jessie' image that will
boot into X by default, and requires a 8G image, it has a lot more software installed. There's also the smaller 'Jessie
Lite' that will boot into the command line, and can be burned onto a 2G card! Click below to download and install into a
new SD card. Unzip and follow the classic SD card burning tutorials

DIY Installer script
If you don't want to download an image, you can run our installation package helper from inside your existing Raspbian
install. It will download the kernel add-ons, and configure your Pi for PiTFT joy
The helper is available for perusal here if you are interested in how it works
