Raspberry Pi OS

  • Starting with a fresh install of the Raspberry Pi Debian Bookworm OS with desktop (64 bit).
  • Use the Raspberry Pi Imager to install the OS on a 16MB micro SD card.
  • Open a terminal window and run the following commands (you can copy and past them into a terminal window)

Install the real Python IDE (not thonny) and the MQTT broker

  • Open the Terminal and enter these commands
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y full-upgrade idle3 mosquitto mosquitto-clients

Install Virtual Environment

  • These days Python must run in a virtual environment so that each user gets their own Python
  • The virtual environment has to be activated before each use
  • The linux prompt then changes from:
  • <username>@home:~ $ to (env) <username>@home:~ $
  • Create a virtual environment for Python called env in your /home/<username> directory.
  • Enter the commands in the Terminal.
cd ~
python3 -m venv env
  • Activate the virtual environment
cd ~/env
source bin/activate
