First I downloaded the latest version of Raspbian lite from the Raspberry Pi Imager. I then flashed the image to a microSD card using the Raspberry Pi Imager.
I then inserted the microSD card into the Raspberry Pi and powered it on. I connected to the Raspberry Pi using SSH in VS Code which installs the VS Code server on the Raspberry Pi. I then install all of my extensions I would use on my local machine.
Trough out this guide I will be using callouts to highlight important information.

Devtools installer is a program that I made that allows you to select what software you want to install on your linux machine.
First you will need to have git installed on your machine. You can install git by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install git -y
Then you can clone the devtools installer repository by running the following command:
git clone https://www.github.com/0x4248/devtools_installer ~/devtools_installer
Tip
If you dont want to git clone all of the history of the repository you can use the --depth 1 flag.
git clone --depth 1 https://www.github.com/0x4248/devtools_installer ~/devtools_installer
You should now have the devtools installer repository on your machine.
Warning
CHECK if running
ls -l ~/devtools_installer/
returns a similar output to:
total 84
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Apr 28 14:32 bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 5218 Apr 28 14:32 CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Apr 28 14:32 conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 5034 Apr 28 14:32 config
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 1564 Apr 28 14:32 CONTRIBUTING.md
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Apr 28 14:32 doc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 35149 Apr 28 14:32 LICENCE
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 539 Apr 28 14:32 README.md
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 1114 Apr 28 14:32 run.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 117 Apr 28 14:32 SECURITY.md
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 Apr 28 14:32 src
If it does not return a similar output then you may have cloned the repository incorrectly or the repository may be corrupt. Please try cloning the repository again.
Warning
CHECK if running
ls ~/devtools_installer/bin | grep "kconfig"
returns a file named kconfiglib-XX.X.X.tar.gz where XX.X.X is the version number.
Now that you have the devtools installer repository on your machine change directory into the repository by running the following command:
cd ~/devtools_installer
First we need to install the dependencies:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip
Then install the required python package:
pip3 install bin/kconfiglib-14.1.0.tar.gz --break-system-packages
Warning
CHECK if menuconfig works by running:
menuconfig
If the command is not found you need to add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
Then close and reopen your terminal.
Now run the devtools installer by running the following command:
menuconfig config
This will open a menu where you can select what software you want to install on your machine. It is in submenus so you can navigate through the menus by using the arrow keys and the enter key. The keyboard shortucts are displayed at the bottom of the screen. The default selection is to install most of the development tools that I use. It should look something like this:
Once your done go back to the main menu and press esc and y to save your configuration.
Warning
CHECK if running the following command:
ls .config
returns a file named .config.
Now you can run the following command to install the software you selected:
sudo python3 src/main.py
This will now install the packages you selected. Now wait for it to instal, its going to take some time.
To install docker run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker.io
Then you can start the docker service by running:
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker
Warning
CHECK if running the following command:
sudo docker run hello-world
returns a message saying Hello from Docker!.
To remove docker from the sudo group run the following command:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
If you still get:
docker: permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post "http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.24/containers/create": dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied.
See 'docker run --help'.
Then you need to restart your machine.
You should now have all the software you need installed on your machine. If you have any issues please let me know.
