Installation, features, and usage of the Occidentalis operating system from Adafruit
The first step is installing Occidentalis on the Raspberry Pi.
Prepare for lift off
The first step is the installation of the Adafruit-Pi-Finder tool. The tool can be downloaded from https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Pi-Finder/releases/latest. It is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms.
Engage thrusters
- You can find detailed instructions on installing the Occidentalis tool at https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Pi-Finder.
- Alternatively, a step-by-step instruction is also available on this book's website. We cannot include them here since changes were made to Occidentalis installation process after we finished writing this book.
Objective complete – mini debriefing
Once the installation is complete, we have to ensure that the Raspberry Pi as well as the development machine are connected to the network via the Ethernet port or a USB Wi-Fi dongle.
