Installing An OS!

Step 1: Prerequisite Software Installation

• Raspberry Pi Imager - You'll use this to install the OS on the PiCar, and change some settings to get it connecting.
  1. Install this for the operating system you're using (Probably Windows).
  2. Once installed, you'll be met with this. Close out for now.
  3. The OS Installation will be completed later, so hold off on configuration for now.
• Putty - This is used as a remote terminal for the Pi. Because the PiCar will be roaming without a display, this allows easier access and copy/paste. 

1. 1. Installation should be pretty simple. Just click through the prompts, and use the default settings.
   2. After it gets installed, you can close out of the notepad opened.
