WEBVTT

00:00.110 --> 00:02.420
What we do know are the last steps.

00:02.420 --> 00:05.270
So after this everything will be fully configured.

00:05.270 --> 00:09.650
So we got access to the Raspberry Pi desktop with VNC.

00:09.680 --> 00:12.020
And we're just going to do a few things here.

00:12.050 --> 00:17.780
Get used to the desktop, check a few options okay do some updates, etc..

00:17.780 --> 00:21.920
So first of all here to go full screen I click.

00:21.920 --> 00:25.880
If I click on F8 I should be able to get this menu okay.

00:25.910 --> 00:28.880
And you can click on full screen.

00:28.880 --> 00:37.790
And so if I click on F8 again so I need to click on the desktop F8 I can go back to the previous mode

00:37.820 --> 00:38.390
okay.

00:38.840 --> 00:40.220
You also have the options.

00:40.220 --> 00:42.680
So this is the options of Tigervnc okay.

00:42.710 --> 00:44.690
It's not a Raspberry Pi, it's about Tigervnc.

00:45.530 --> 00:49.010
Um, but uh, different options for encoding.

00:49.010 --> 00:55.700
If you have weird colors here, you might select for example, Tight or Exile where it doesn't really

00:55.700 --> 01:00.560
matter, but if you have weird colors, you might change the encoding here.

01:00.590 --> 01:03.800
Apart from that, I would not really change anything.

01:03.800 --> 01:05.600
So what do we have on this desktop?

01:05.630 --> 01:07.880
Well, we have a menu bar on top.

01:07.880 --> 01:11.570
So if you are used to windows the menu bar is at the bottom.

01:11.600 --> 01:13.250
It's basically the same thing.

01:13.250 --> 01:14.780
And the first thing I'm going to do.

01:14.780 --> 01:23.150
So I'm going to click on this launch menu and go to Preferences and Appearance Settings okay.

01:23.150 --> 01:29.300
So this is optional I'm just doing this so that when I do the course you can easily read and see what

01:29.300 --> 01:30.200
I'm doing.

01:30.200 --> 01:35.210
So if I go on taskbar I can choose the size okay.

01:35.240 --> 01:37.610
And I'm going to go from large to very large.

01:37.610 --> 01:38.930
You can see it's bigger.

01:39.110 --> 01:43.550
So you don't need to do that, but it's going to be easier for you to read on my screen when I record

01:43.550 --> 01:44.150
the course.

01:44.180 --> 01:44.540
Okay.

01:44.570 --> 01:48.110
And I can also put the menu on the bottom if I want.

01:48.140 --> 01:50.180
I'm going to leave it at the top.

01:50.180 --> 01:55.790
Now, if I go on system, I'm also going to increase the font size from 12 to, I don't know, something

01:55.820 --> 01:56.510
like 15.

01:56.510 --> 01:59.840
I might increase it a bit later?

01:59.870 --> 02:00.380
Face.

02:00.380 --> 02:01.250
It's not enough.

02:01.280 --> 02:06.230
Okay, so with this, the text is bigger and you can try a dark theme etc..

02:06.260 --> 02:08.480
Okay, so I click on okay.

02:08.480 --> 02:10.700
And now well the important thing to check.

02:10.730 --> 02:16.910
You can go back to the menu here Preferences and Raspberry Pi configuration.

02:16.910 --> 02:19.280
And here you can see you have the password.

02:19.280 --> 02:21.710
So if you want to change the password you can do it here.

02:21.740 --> 02:23.300
You can change the hostname.

02:23.300 --> 02:25.700
Make sure that well the boot option is to desktop.

02:25.700 --> 02:29.930
So make sure to keep that you can enable disable the auto login etc..

02:29.930 --> 02:34.820
If I go on interfaces you can see we have the VNC server that's enabled.

02:34.820 --> 02:36.650
So don't disable it.

02:36.650 --> 02:38.060
And you have other stuff here.

02:38.060 --> 02:40.370
So SSH is enabled as well.

02:40.370 --> 02:44.750
And then well on localization you can also change the locale if needed.

02:44.870 --> 02:46.010
Time zone keyboard.

02:46.010 --> 02:50.240
So you have all the options here in this Raspberry Pi configuration menu.

02:51.050 --> 02:54.200
Then what we can check is you see we have the Wi-Fi here.

02:54.200 --> 02:55.640
So this is your Wi-Fi network.

02:55.640 --> 02:57.470
This is the one I have chosen okay.

02:57.530 --> 02:59.300
You can even see the IP address.

02:59.900 --> 03:03.320
We have the Bluetooth that's enabled by default.

03:03.320 --> 03:05.180
I guess I can turn it off.

03:05.210 --> 03:05.450
Okay.

03:05.480 --> 03:07.070
Since we don't need it for now.

03:07.070 --> 03:08.480
And then that's pretty much it.

03:08.510 --> 03:12.020
So one thing we're going to do is to update the software.

03:12.020 --> 03:16.070
So here on the top you can see we have these updates are available.

03:16.070 --> 03:17.420
Click to install box.

03:17.720 --> 03:18.740
And you can see the updates.

03:18.740 --> 03:21.410
But you can just install the updates.

03:22.010 --> 03:22.280
Okay.

03:22.310 --> 03:24.950
And this is going to take a few minutes so you can wait.

03:24.980 --> 03:28.610
Now you might think why do we need to update the system if we just installed it.

03:28.640 --> 03:33.320
Well you installed a version that was kind of frozen at some point.

03:33.320 --> 03:39.440
And since this point, there's been new versions for the software that you already have in the Raspberry

03:39.440 --> 03:40.400
Pi OS.

03:40.400 --> 03:43.820
So by doing this, you make sure that everything is up to date, okay.

03:43.850 --> 03:49.700
And I recommend that as soon as you see that updates are available, you update your system again.

03:49.700 --> 03:52.040
So let's just wait for a few minutes.

03:53.570 --> 03:54.230
All right.

03:54.230 --> 03:57.820
And in the end you will see this system is up to date.

03:57.820 --> 04:02.380
So for me, in this case it took about well, something like 15 minutes.

04:02.380 --> 04:03.820
So that's still quite long.

04:03.820 --> 04:05.710
It's not going to be 15 minutes every time.

04:05.710 --> 04:07.210
Basically the first time might be long.

04:07.210 --> 04:11.830
And then if you wait for a few weeks or few months and you don't update your system, of course there's

04:11.830 --> 04:13.810
going to be more packages to update.

04:13.810 --> 04:17.200
So if you do it quite frequently, it's going to be quite quick.

04:17.200 --> 04:19.690
And when you have this, you can just click on okay.

04:19.690 --> 04:20.950
And that's basically it.

04:20.980 --> 04:23.440
Your Raspberry Pi OS is correctly configured.

04:23.440 --> 04:29.470
And now before we continue I actually need to show you something that's well, quite important is how

04:29.470 --> 04:34.360
to shut down your Raspberry Pi properly because you might think, well, you just need to remove the

04:34.360 --> 04:35.080
power cable.

04:35.080 --> 04:39.130
And that's what we did once during the setup to find the IP address.

04:39.160 --> 04:42.340
Okay, it's not ideal, but sometimes you need to do it.

04:42.340 --> 04:48.070
But if you have access to the Raspberry Pi desktop like this, well, you should definitely shut it

04:48.070 --> 04:50.350
down like you would shut down a normal computer.

04:50.380 --> 04:53.440
You have a menu here and you click on shutdown.

04:53.440 --> 04:55.300
You can shut down or reboot.

04:55.300 --> 04:59.260
You click on shutdown and you can see then you will lose.

04:59.290 --> 05:01.990
Of course, the VNC connection.

05:01.990 --> 05:09.130
And that's normal because if you shut down, then the VNC server is turned off and you lose the VNC

05:09.130 --> 05:09.790
connection.

05:09.820 --> 05:10.000
Okay.

05:10.030 --> 05:14.860
So I recommend that you always shut down your Raspberry Pi properly, simply because, well, imagine

05:14.860 --> 05:19.960
another computer, you don't remove the battery of the computer, or you don't just unplug it from the

05:19.960 --> 05:22.090
wall, you shut down your computer properly.

05:22.120 --> 05:23.470
I mean, I hope you do.

05:23.500 --> 05:24.190
So.

05:24.190 --> 05:28.780
Same thing for the Raspberry Pi as much as possible, try to shut it down correctly and then once you

05:28.810 --> 05:32.290
shut it down, you can remove the power cable.

05:32.530 --> 05:36.820
Okay, so wait maybe a few seconds 10s after you shut it down.

05:36.820 --> 05:40.780
And if you want to start it again, you just need to power it on again.

05:41.590 --> 05:42.940
So I just did that.

05:42.940 --> 05:44.530
I put it on again.

05:44.560 --> 05:52.360
You wait for maybe 20 or 30s and after you've waited a bit you can connect.

05:52.360 --> 05:54.430
So just click on Yes.

05:54.580 --> 05:55.270
Okay.

05:55.300 --> 06:00.100
It's going to ask us to put the username and password again.

06:01.690 --> 06:01.840
Okay.

06:01.870 --> 06:03.790
And we are back to the Raspberry Pi.

06:03.820 --> 06:04.360
Great.

06:04.360 --> 06:08.200
So now you have successfully installed Raspberry Pi operating system.

06:08.200 --> 06:13.840
You are ready to go to the next step, which is to start to do some programming with Python on the Raspberry

06:13.840 --> 06:14.140
Pi.

06:14.170 --> 06:18.190
So at this point, the important thing is that the configuration is working properly.

06:18.190 --> 06:22.990
If you don't understand all the steps, especially the command line tools, don't worry too much.

06:22.990 --> 06:27.490
This is really not a problem because we are going to come back to this a little bit later.

06:27.520 --> 06:29.230
Okay, that's a bit more advanced.

06:29.230 --> 06:33.760
I'm making the course very easy at the beginning, and we will go step by step to the more difficult

06:33.790 --> 06:34.450
topics.

06:34.450 --> 06:39.520
What I encourage you to do now is just to play around and see what's inside the Raspberry Pi.

06:39.700 --> 06:46.510
You can open a web browser, okay, see the different settings, etc. I have added a few extra videos

06:46.510 --> 06:52.000
after this one on this section and you can check them or not, but you could directly jump to the Python

06:52.000 --> 06:53.650
section on the Raspberry Pi.
