Basically this is a text file with the commands you want to run in the order you want to run them. To run an automated process in Linux you need a shell script. Once you’re at the $ prompt again, type sudo reboot now to enable all new settings. When all settings are done navigate (using TAB) to Finish. Change your password in number 1, configure wifi in number 2, set up automatic login in 3 (B1/B2), configure local time and keyboard in 4, in 5 you enable your Pi camera (make sure to plug it in first) and SSH (very important for later), in 7 option A1 is usually recommended. Work your way through the menu items using the arrow keys and TAB. Type sudo raspi-config and you will be presented with the menu below. You need to spend a few minutes setting the Pi up, and luckily the Raspberry people have included a very handy tool. After a minute or two the boot process you are presented with a blank screen and a $ prompt. Once you have downloaded and installed the OS (follow the link on the download page), insert the SD Card, connect the Zero to the screen and a keyboard and connect the micro USB power cord. From here on out it is command line only! The good news is that you’ll be fine with a 2GB Micro SD card, it really is that small. It has everything you need, but dispenses with the graphical interface. The Pi Zero is not a powerful computer, and as you will be using if for a single, simple purpose the small-footprint Rasbian Lite version is sufficient.

I’m using the Rasbian versjon of Debian Linux, but any kind of Linux will do (except for the camera command, more on that later). Download and set up the Raspbian operating system Or you could use the Raspberry Pi 3 or any other (single board) computer with full size ports, of course. Unless you have a micro-USB to USB converter and a micro HDMI to HDMI converter, you should also get Pi Hut’s Essentials kit. You can get a Zero with built-in wifi and a 5 megapixel camera module for about $35 (check out the Pi Hut for instance). In this case, a Raspberry Pi Zero single board computer with a USB wifi adapter and camera module. I like to do things the hard way and am a bit of a maker geek anyway 🙂 and decided to go with parts I already had laying around. There are many ways to do this of course, the best solution for you might well be to get a commercial web cam with appropriate software. I wanted to document my Mars Garden in real time and post images online. A simple how-to for making a Raspberry Pi computer take pictures at specified times and uploading them
