The first step when you receive the Raspberry Pi is to install the operating system. The Raspberry Pi can run the Linux system a several versions are avaliable to download free form the Raspberry Pi site.

In prder to instal the JVM for Java programming it is necessary to download the Soft-float Debian “wheezy” version and to burn the image to the SD card I used Win32DiskImager.

If you have problems with the Raspberry Pi instal you should consult the trouble shooting page.
