== Desktop Preparation
* On your notebook/desktop, install Bonjour Services from Apple.   This allows your windows machine to 'just know' the hostname raspberrypi.local.  See [https://support.apple.com/downloads/bonjour%2520for%2520windows Bonjour for Windows]
* Install Jessie Lite to your sd card [https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Raspbian Jessie OS] 

* [wiki:SetupPiZeroSSHOverUSB Setup SSH over USB for the Pi Zero]
* [wiki:SetupPiZeroWiFi Setup WiFi for the Pi Zero]  

== Configure Pi Zero
* Connect to Pi: {{{ ssh pi@raspberrypi.local }}}   (password is raspberry)
* Configure Pi
   * Setup DNS: {{{ sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf }}}.     
         * add: nameserver 8.8.8.8   
         * add: nameserver 8.8.4.4
   * Configure PiZero {{{ sudo raspi-config }}}
         * Activate the Pi Zero's built-in I2C Interface:
              * Use the down arrow to select 'Advanced Options'
              * Arrow down and select 'I2C'
              * Select 'Yes' to enable the I2C Interface
              * Acknowledge the notification confirming the I2C Interface has been enabled
         * Activate the option "Expand to use the entire memory card."  This will reboot the system after you are done, then continue. 
   * Update to latest software (this will take a while):
     {{{
       sudo apt-get update
       sudo apt-get upgrade
     }}}
* Install Oracle Java JDK: {{{ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-jdk }}}.  Do not use OpenJDK, its slower.
* Install git: {{{ sudo apt-get install git }}}
* Install [http://wiringpi.com/ wiringPi]: 
  {{{
    mkdir ~/dev;cd ~/dev
    git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
    cd wiringPi
    ./build  
   }}}
  Then, test by running  "gpio -v" and "man gpio"
* Install [http://pi4j.com/ Pi4J]
   * See: http://www.savagehomeautomation.com/projects/pi4j-connecting-java-to-the-raspberry-pi.html
   * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grItDpy3TRM video tutorial]
   * Easy way, type:  
     {{{
       cd ~/dev
       curl -s get.pi4j.com | sudo bash
     }}}


* Run a program at startup of Pi/Raspian:

    Highlights from this page:

        NOTE: Use ‘sudo’ to perform these operations as root in a Raspbian shell…

    Create an LSB style init script for launching a PiBot autonomous startup app.[[BR]]
*   I copied rc.local as a starting point and modified it to run my desired - PiBot app as follows:
  * sudo cp /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/init.d/pibot_auto
  * sudo vi /etc/init.d/pibot_auto
  * Revise the header block to describe PiBot autonomous app
  * Revise the do_start() to launch the PiBot autonomous app
  * Save and exit editor
  * Test/debug the script until it works as desired using these commands:
  * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto start
  * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto stop
  * sudo /etc/init.d/pibot_auto restart
    When working as desired, register script to run at startup/shutdown:
  * sudo update-rc.d pibot_auto defaults
    If the script is changed (edited) after registering, a ‘reload’ may be necessary as follows:
  * sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    To unregister the script (i.e., stop it from running at startup/shutdown):
  * sudo update-rc.d -f pibot_auto remove
