Pi 5 Walkthrough

This tutorial walks through setting up your Raspberry Pi 5 from scratch

What you will need

1. Raspberry Pi 5

2. Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler

3. MicroSD Card (128 GB recommended)

Step 1: Install Ubuntu 24 on the Pi

(download for linux or download for windows)

We will use the Desktop build of Ubuntu, since that has better built in support for external drives. Ubuntu Server is fully supported, and recommended for more experienced users.
