  • install current Rasbian-Version on a Micro SD-Card (SD Card Formatter & Win32DiskImager on Win10)

  • boot into the Rasbian:

    • set orientation of the screen (I do like it turned 90° CW): sudo nano /boot/config.txt add display_rotate=3 at the bottom of the file, for the newest version of respberry you do need lcd_rotate=3 instead of display_rotate. exit with >Ctrl-O< to save and >Ctrl-X< to exit the file. reboot [ sudo reboot ] for the change to take effect.

  • activate ssh, through sudo raspi-config

  • follow https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html
