Steps to build a Linux server on a Raspberry Pi from Windows

Step 1: Get the Raspbian OS for your Raspberry Pi

The original Raspbian operating system image is accessible on their own website. Download the Raspbian zip file that contains the most recent version. Please refer to the link below to get the OS image: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

Raspbian is the official operating system for the Raspberry Pi that was adapted from Debian 7.0 (Wheezy) and is customized for the architecture of the device. Although there are numerous ways to run your preferred OS on the Pi, we’ll pick Raspbian OS because of how straightforward it is.

On a Raspberry Pi, an operating system can be easily installed. Install the boot image onto a microSD card first using a computer. Simply insert the card further into Raspberry Pi after that to begin booting.

Step 2: Installation of Raspbian OS

Installing the “Raspberry Pi OS with Desktop” image or “Raspberry Pi OS including desktop & recommended applications” will be quite simple. We’ll use “Raspberry Pi OS Lite” since we’re constructing a Linux server. Once the.zip file has finished downloading, you need to extract it.

Step 3: Write Raspbian OS to micro SD card

To write the image to the microSD card(create bootable media), simply download win32 disk imager from the link below: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

• Choose the Raspbian Operating system image file that you just extracted.
• Choose the SD card that will hold the image.
• And then click on the Write button to get started writing.

Step 4: Booting the Pi

To use the Raspberry Pi, all you need is a computer with a display, a keyboard, and a power source. For network access, we also own an Ethernet cable, which we prefer to WiFi, specifically for just a dedicated server.

• Use HDMI0, the first HDMI port on the Raspberry Pi 4, to connect your display.
• Connect Keyboard and mouse through the USB port.
• Power on the Pi after inserting the microSD card. 

Use the default login information when asked:

Username : pi
Password : raspberry

The Raspberry Pi is a small, inexpensive computer that is of the size of a credit card that connects to a computer monitor or TV and operates with a regular keyboard and mouse. With the help of this competent small gadget, individuals of all ages may learn about computing and how to program in languages like Scratch and Python.
It can be used to set up your own server at a minimal cost. It has all the features of a desktop computer, including the ability to play high-definition video, browse the internet, create spreadsheets, word documents, and play games.

What you’ll have to create a Linux server using a Raspberry Pi is listed below:

• Raspberry Pi
• Ethernet Cable
• A microSD card (minimum 8GB storage capacity)
