+# Preparing the Raspberry Pi
+1. Create RPI Image on a Micro-SD card (I use 16gb because I have it, size is not too important but I would use 8gb or more) using [Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/)
+2. Choose your Raspberry Pi (3B+ in my case) 
+3. For Operating System (OS), choose "Other", then choose Raspbian OS Lite (64-bit)
+4. For Storage, choose your micro-sd card
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/05580e0a-86d5-4613-aadc-93207365c38f)
+5. Press Next then Edit Settings
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b392a2c9-6bf4-47d5-84b7-63a5f793a1df)
+6. Inside the OS Customization Settings, choose a name for your device. I use "ledpi". Choose a password, enter your WiFi information, and set your timezone.
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0c250e3e-ab3c-4f3c-ba60-6884121ab176)
+7. Under the Services Tab, make sure that SSH is enabled. I recommend using password authentication for ease of use - it is the password you just chose above.

 The `authenticate_spotify.py` script, when run with `sudo`, creates `config/spotify_auth.json` owned by `root`. If the main `display_controller.py` (also run with `sudo`) effectively runs as a different user (e.g., UID 1/daemon, as observed during troubleshooting), that user won't be able to read the `root`-owned file unless its permissions are relaxed (e.g., to `644`). The `chmod 644` command allows the owner (`root`) to read/write, and everyone else (including the `daemon` user) to read.
