Just head to the downloads page, grab a copy of the NOOBS zip file, and unpack it onto a freshly formatted 4GB (or larger) SD card. You won’t need network access, and you won’t need to download any special imaging software. NOOBS is a way to make setting up a Raspberry Pi for the first time much, much easier. So with this in mind, we’d like to introduce you to NOOBS. And we don’t want people to put their Raspberry Pi down in horror after five minutes. It is: but it can also put some people off, sometimes terminally. We started this project with the premise that throwing people in at the deep end and making them jump hurdles, to mix my sporting metaphors, is a good way to get them to learn stuff.

If you’re a beginner with a Raspberry Pi, things just got a whole lot easier.
