Before you start:

• Have your Raspberry Pi 500 up and running
  • Have a basic understanding of how to work with the Raspberry Pi
  • Have ssh up and running (via raspi-config)
    
  • Know what the Linux command line interface is and how to work with it
  • Know what a shell script is
  • Know what sudo is and how it works
  • Know the basics about Linux users and the file permission system.
• Have an ssh-client installed on your main computer or know how to start an ssh connection in a terminal session
• Connect your Raspberry Pi 500 to your home network
  • via Wi-Fi (okay)
  • with a LAN cable (better)
• Be able to log into your Raspberry Pi's desktop by 
  • having a display attached

If you do not use a Raspberry Pi 500, be prepared to use this write-up more like a hint how it can be done and be prepared to work out your own way to a functional tool-chain.

If you are not yet familiar with Linux systems, consider asking friends to help you to get started.
