PocketCHIP: First Run!

My suggested list of terminal commands for your brand new PocketCHIP. These do the following things:

  • Reset your password.
  • Give you root user access to update and install software.
  • Update your PocketCHIP's core operating system.
  • Make sure that your locale and time zone data is right.
  • Install SSH and shut off WiFi power saving to prevent timeouts.
  • Install Pocket Home (Marshmallow edition).
  • Install rsync for easier file copying. (Optional)
  • Install git to easily grab projects from GitHub. (Optional)

Note: Do not add the $ or # from each line before the command! $ denotes a command to be run by your default user, # denotes a command that requires root privileges.

$ passwd
$ sudo -i
# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
# apt-get install locales
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
# locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
# apt-get install openssh-server
# iw wlan0 set power_save off
# wget http://bit.ly/29uWueR
# mv 29uWueR install-pockethome
# chmod +x install-pockethome
# ./install-pockethome
# apt-get install rsync
# apt-get install git

I just bought one myself and wanted to ask what other programming alt's have you done? I saw El Kentaro's multi-part piece on the Medium App too so I'm trying to get all input.
