PocketCHIP: First Run!

pocketchip_first-run.md

My suggested list of terminal commands for your brand new PocketCHIP.

First off, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to look like this:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free

deb http://chip.jfpossibilities.com/chip/debian/repo jessie main
deb http://chip.jfpossibilities.com/chip/debian/pocketchip jessie main

Run the following command to add the correct key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8B48AD6246925553

Then, do the following steps:

• Reset your password.
• Give you root user access to update and install software.
• Update your PocketCHIP's core operating system.
• Sync the date and time automatically at startup.
• 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
