The version that we are using when writing Raspberry Pi Full Stack is , which is release on September 7th, 2017.

Details about how to install Raspbian onto a Raspberry Pi can be found on its official website:.

In short, ONLY one command will do the installation on a SD/TF card:

sudo dd bs=4M if=2017-09-07-raspbian-stretch.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress conv=fsync

After the installation, you will see the SD/TF card is formated as in the following image (here, we use as the partition tool): There are 4 partitions in total: 1. unallocated 4.00 MiB -- leave UNUSED 2. /dev/mmcblk0p1 fat32 41.81 MiB 3. /dev/mmcblk0p2 ext4 4.53 GiB 4. unallocated 24.91 GiB -- to be USED

To make FULL use of the SD/TF card's storage, traditionally, you need to manually resize/enlarge /dev/mmcblk0p2 to cover the 2nd unallocated storage 24.91G. Ever since , you can plug out the SD/TF card directly and try to reboot your Raspberry Pi 3B without manually changing anything. Raspbian's FIRST booting will automatically resize/enlarge /dev/mmcblk0p2 to cover the entire 2nd unallocated storage 24.91G.

Now, we can plug the SD/TF card out from the PC and plug it into the Raspberry Pi 3B as follows:

and then, reboot it.

Before starting playing with Raspbian on Raspberry Pi, there are still two more steps to go:

  • raspi-config

  • Enable the Internet
