Setting up Your Raspberry Pi

In the first part of this chapter, we will be setting up a Raspberry Pi 3 with the installation of the official, by the Raspberry Pi foundation, released Raspbian Linux distribution with the help of the NOOBS installer. This will be followed up with any preparations needed to be able to use the onboard hardware and the installation of Java. The second part will cover preparing NetBeans as the editor of choice to write, compile, and deploy our Java applications with a simple Hello World application at the end of the chapter to confirm that our setup works.
