Step 2: Raspberry Pi Raspbian Setup.

Raspbian is the Debian Linux distribution customized for the Raspberry Pi. Basic knowledge of Debian

Linux is required for the successful installation and operation of the Apple II Pi. Refer to the Appendix

for links to helpful sites if needed. It is easiest, but not required, to set up the Raspberry Pi outside the

Apple II. You will need a USB keyboard and mouse to set up Raspbian as well as the

monitor+cable+angle-adapter you plan on using when installed in the Apple II. You can, of course,

setup the Raspberry Pi attached to the Apple II, but the Apple II keyboard and mouse won't be available

until after the installation is complete.

Option 1: Purchase pre-configured SD card from dealer.

This is by far the easiest option. Insert the pre-configured SD card into the Raspberry Pi and continue

to Step 2.1.

Option 2: Download official Raspbian image and setup.

This is the most involved, but most flexible, option. First, download the official Raspbian image from

the Raspberry Pi Foundation (http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads) and copy to your SD card. Insert

the SD card and boot the Raspberry Pi. You will go through the NOOBS installation where you will

select Raspbian as the OS to run (https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs/blob/master/README.md).

The initial Raspbian boot will automatically run raspi-config, the Raspberry Pi configuration program

(http://elinux.org/RPi_raspi-config). Once you have configured Raspbian, expanded the file system,

and reboot, login as the default user: pi, password: raspberry. Download and install the Apple II Pi

package using the following commands:

wget schmenk.is-a-geek.com/tarfiles/a2pi_armhf.deb

sudo dpkg -i a2pi_armhf.deb

Once the package has been installed, it's time to update all the packages available. Continue to Step

2.1.

Step 2.1: Apple II Pi Update and Upgrade.

Debian is well known for its solid packaging system to manage software packages. You will do this

whenever you want to get your system up-to-date, including now. Enter these commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

If there is an update for the Apple II Pi package, you may get a message about it being from an

untrusted or unverified source. Go ahead and install it – I really am pretty trustworthy.

Step 3: Apple II Setup.

The other half of the Apple II Pi equation is the software that runs on the Apple II itself. This is the

boot floppy that you will start your Apple II from. If you have a different boot media, you can move the

files over to that device for booting, as long as it is ProDOS based. ProDOS 1.9 is on the floppy;

compatible with all Apple IIs.

Option 1: Purchase boot floppy from dealer.

This is the easiest way to get a boot floppy. Proceed to Step 3.1
