Version 10 (buster) is easily installed using the 'Raspberry pi imager', on Linux install with
snap install rpi-imager rpi-imager
and follow the screen
manual
or
Get the install zip-file from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/
Then unpack NOOBS zip-file to the new disk (use the newest version), like for the network version

unzip NOOBS_v3_5_1.zip -d /media/xxx/yyyy or unzip ~/Downloads/raspberry/NOOBS_v3_5_1.zip (if you are on the empty flash)
Reboot
- Insert SD card on Raspberry,
- Mount a heatsink - especially needed on version 4,
- Connect monitor, keyboard and (USB) power
That is all, Raspberry should boot on that, and take some time to prepare the SD-Card. Or see instructions on e.g.: https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/
- Boot the raspberry and install the Raspberry Pi OS full (Debian).
- On the bottom of the screen select keyboard layout and language,
Settings
- Leave the pi password as is (for future reuse)
- Select language (prefer English - also for future reuse)
- select wifi access - if not using a cable.
Usefull Linux commands
Here are some common commands in Linux
ls (directory file list) cd (change to home directory) cd some_directory (change to a subdirectory) exit (logout, e.g. of a ssh session) grep -n string_to_look_for_in_a_file *.cpp (find a string in a file, e.g. a variable or a function) sudo some_command (execute a command as "root" - root is a superuser with administrator rights to everything) pkill some_application_name (stop (or kill) a running process with name "some_application_name") pgrep some_application_name (see if a process is running - good to use before a kill) mv from_file to_file (rename a file) cp from_file to_file (copy a file) rm some_file (remove (delete) a file) nano some_file (simple text editor) zip, unzip (pack or unpack files - try zip --help to see how. top (see process load and memory usage) make (compile all as described in the "Makefile" in the same directory) make -j4 (compile using up to 4 CPU cores - faster if more files need to be compiled)
All commands have an online help if you add --help or -h after the command. If this is not enough, then try
man ls
to get the manual page for the ls command.
Configure
Raspberry
use raspi-config, start a terminal:
sudo raspi-config
Using raspi-config
Enable Camera Set hostname (one word, no space) Enable SSH Disable Serial login boot as a console with login Update firmware Set locale to "en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8" (danish keyboard, but English language)
Update operating system
Ensure you have internet access, then
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo reboot
