The next screen will allow you to check for and install updates for Raspbian and the other
software on the Raspberry Pi (Figure 3-5). Raspbian is regularly updated to fix bugs, add new
features, and improve performance. To install these updates, click Next; otherwise, click Skip.
Downloading the updates can take several minutes, so be patient. When the updates are
installed, a window saying ‘System is up to date’ will appear; click the OK button.

changes made will only take effect when you restart your Raspberry Pi, a process known as
rebooting. If prompted to do so, click the Reboot button and the Raspberry Pi will restart. This
time the Welcome Wizard won’t appear; its job is done, and your Pi is ready to use.
