the memory card of at least 4 GB.
Start the Raspberry Pi now from the memory card. Insert the memory card into the slot on the Raspberry Pi
and connect keyboard, mouse, monitor and network cable. Finally it is time for the USB power port. It is
used to switch the Raspberry Pi on. A separate power button does not exist.
After a few seconds a menu is displayed from which you can choose the desired operating system. We use
the operating system Raspbian that is recommended by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Select your language (German) as the installation language at the very bottom, and select the pre-selected
Raspbian operating system. After you have confirmed the safety message to overwrite the memory card the
installation, which takes a few minutes, will start. Brief information about Raspbian are displayed during the
process of installation.
