Chapter 6 ■ Building low-Cost MysQl data nodesYou are now ready to hook up all of your peripherals. I like to keep things simple and connect only a
monitor, keyboard, and (for NOOBS) a mouse. If you want to download an operating system other than
Raspbian, you will also need to connect your Raspberry Pi to your network.
Once your Raspberry Pi powers on, you will see a scrolling display of various messages. This is normal
and may scroll for some time before NOOBS starts. When NOOBS is loaded, you will see a screen similar to
Figure 6-8.
Notice you will see the Raspbian image in the list of operating systems. To install it, just tick the
checkbox beside the thumbnail then click Install. However, note the two boxes at the bottom. This sets the
language and keyboard for use in NOOBS. It does not affect the setup of Raspbian.
Once you initiate the install, you will see a series of dialogs as Raspbian begins its installation. This
could take a while. The good news is the dialogs provide a lot of useful information to help you get started.
You will learn about how to log in to Raspbian, tips for configuring and customizing, and suggestions for how
to get the most out of your experience.
