Always get a fresh and current Raspbian image before installing Pivilion. It will drastically speed up the update / upgrade step of the manual. Use [this guide](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md) from Raspberry Pi's official website. You can use either the full or the lite image, its up to you. Choose your system. Well be using Linux + dd.
### Enabling SSH on your Pi
SSH access is turned of by default for security. We need to do a simple extra step to enable it.
SSH access is turned off by default for security. We need to do a simple extra step to enable it.
The boot partition on a Pi should be accessible from any machine with an SD card reader, on Windows, Mac, or Linux. If you want to enable SSH, all you need to do is to put a file called ssh in the boot partition. The contents of the file dont matter: it can contain any text you like, or even nothing at all. When the Pi boots, it looks for this file; if it finds it, it enables SSH and then deletes the file. SSH can still be turned on or off from the Raspberry Pi Configuration application or raspi-config; this is simply an additional way to turn it on if you cant easily run either of those applications.
