Appendix B
Installing and uninstalling software
R
aspbian for Raspberry Pi comes with a selection of popular software packages, handpicked by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, but these are not the only packages that will work on a Raspberry Pi. Using the following instructions, you can browse additional
software, install it, and uninstall it again – expanding the capabilities of your Raspberry Pi. The instructions in this appendix are on top of those in Chapter 3, Using your Raspberry Pi, which explains how to use the Recommended Software tool; if you haven’t read that already, do so before using the methods described in this appendix.
CARD CAPACITY Adding more software to your Raspberry Pi will take up space on your microSD card. A 16GB or larger card will let you install more software; to check whether the card you intend to use is compatible with Raspberry Pi, visit rpf.io/sdcardlist.
