MX on Linux: Difference between revisions

==Introduction==
 
This article focuses on a device called the Raspberry Pi. It is a small board of electronics that can actually run Windows, Mac OS, Chrome OS, various Linux distributions, or the RaspbianRaspberry Pi OS (based on Ubantu Linux). In this article, the focus is on the last OS, because that is easiest to install, so look elsewhere on the web for details of installing alternatives. The notes here will generally apply to any version of Linux, although the configuration editor described is only on the Pi. The Apple Mac runs its own version of Unix, so is not covered here, but hopefully this article will still be of some use by telling you what steps are needed even if the key sequences are different.
 
The article will give you some guidance on:
*Choosing a Pi model to buy
*Setting it up a Raspberry Pi,
** either connecting it to a keyboard, mouse, and monitor (could be TV), and internet (wired Ethernet or wireless)
** or running it headless, where all instructions are typed into another device and the Pi has no keyboard, mouse, or monitor, but is connected to internet (wired Ethernet or wireless)
*Installing OS (the NOOBS described here can install various OS, you choose which one you want)
*Installing OS
*Installing Mono (needed on any Linux based OS, but can even run on Windows!)
*Installing Apache, PHP, MariaDB, PhpMyAdmin, and copying your database from another device (obviously this installation can be done on any device, but the approach here is on a Pi)
*Running MX (these notes apply to any Linux OS, but some hints need consideration even in Windows)
*Running MX
