 +====== How to Flash Image to SD Card for Raspberry PI + Initial Setup ======
 +Note you will need an SD card or microSD card reader.
 +
 +===== Mac - Terminal =====
 +  * # Plug the SD card into the Mac
 +  * diskutil list
 +  * # Find the entry for the sd card say disk2
 +  * diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2
 +  * sudo dd bs=1m if=IMAGE of=/dev/rdisk2
 +  * # Wait for it to finish - you can use CTRL+T to see the progress
 +
 +===== Windows - GUI =====
 +  * Download Windisk 32 Imager + SD Formatter
 +  * Format the SD card
 +  * Flash the image to the SD card using Windisk Imager
 +
 +===== Setting up the Pi - Terminal (Note you'll probably want to have the PI connected to a monitor for this) =====
 +  * #Login to a terminal on the pi and run
 +  * sudo raspi-config
 +  * Change the password for security reasons this should be the first option
 +  * Change the hostname to what you want the hostname to be
 +  * Change the Boot Options to be Desktop/Cli -> Console Autologin
 +  * Change localisation Options to be appropriate
 +  * Interfacing Options -> SSH -> Enabled SSH -> Yes
 +  * LEAVE OVERCLOCK ALONE (For Raspberry Pi 3 - never turbo overclock a PI unless you really know what you're doing)
 +  * Advanced Options -> Expand Filesystem
 +  * Advanced Options -> Memory Split - make it 16 where you will be using the pi as a server and not connecting it to a monitor
