Your Raspberry Pi uses it to store games, programs, and photo files and boots from your operating system, which runs from it. You’ll need a microSD card with a capacity of 8GB or greater. If you don't have many of the parts listed below you can buy a Raspberry Pi 4 desktop kit (which contains a Raspberry Pi 4, keyboard, mouse). After that, the world of digital making with Raspberry Pi awaits you. You’ll find the Raspbian OS, including coding programs and office software, all available to use. To get set up, simply format your microSD card, download NOOBS, and run the Raspbian installer. Useful extras include some headphones or speakers if you’re keen on using Raspberry Pi as a media centre or gaming machine.
Getting started won’t take long: just corral all the bits and bobs on our checklist, plus perhaps a funky case. We’re sure you’ll enjoy discovering a whole new world of computing and the chance to handcraft your own games, control your own robots and machines, and share your experiences with other Raspberry Pi fanatics. Congratulations on becoming a Raspberry Pi 4 explorer.
