Easy Install

The PiTFT requires some device tree support and a couple other things to make it a nice stand-alone display. If you

just want to get going, check out the following for easy-install instructions!

Install Raspbian on an SD Card

You'll need to start with Raspbian or Raspbian Lite.

The last known for-sure tested-and-working version is March 13, 2018

(https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2018-03-14/) (https://adafru.it/BFQ) from

Raspbian does often 'break' stuff when new versions come out so to be safe, if you are having problems try this

version!

Installer script

This script will do all the work for you, and install both device tree overlay support as well as configure rotation and any

HDMI mirroring. PiTFT no longer needs any custom kernels or modules, so you can continue to update/upgrade your Pi

and it will work with the most recent releases.

Here's the commands to run. Make sure your Pi has network access, it needs to download the software!

The same installer is used for all PiTFTs, you will pick and configure the setup during installation!
