Hi. My name's James Cook, I'm with the
University of Maine at Augusta, and this
is a video, the second in a series,
showing you how to use a really cheap
computer called the Raspberry Pi
(only about $30). You can use it to
connect to the internet to then run some
programs that will allow you to engage
in original nuts and bolts data mining
of social media. You can become a social
media researcher on the cheap.  You don't need a "social media lab." You can do it at home; this is a home
project. Now, in the last video I talked
about how you can connect this computer, which
we will put in a case next, up to a
mouse, a keyboard, a video unit through HDMI, to a power source, then put in a
little tiny micro SD card containing a few gigabytes of memory so you can run programs. Once you do that,
and once you connect the power you get a screen and that screen is going to guide
you into getting started with Raspbian
which is a Linux operating system that is
built for this computer. Literally, all I'm going to do to set up the operating system is to select "Raspbian," which is
recommended, then click install, and it will install the selected operating system.
I have to wait a bit while it extracts that file system and soon I'll be
ready to go.
OK. So, twenty minutes later I have been
informed that the operating system
Raspbian (a Linux installation that is
special for the Raspberry Pi) has been
installed. Now I'm going to click OK
and as you see a script is going to run. I'll soon be asked to log in after the script is done running.
My temporary username -- every user's
temporary username when they first log in at
first
has the username "pi" and the password
"raspberry." Now that we've installed Raspbian,
all we have to do is use the keyboard's right arrow, and that will take us to the "finish" option on the
installation options
configuration screen.  Press "enter," and that will take us to the login screen. Enter
"pi" as your username and "raspberry" as your password and you'll be all set to go. In the
next video, we're going to take a look at
what the Raspbian desktop environment
looks like. That will be step 3 in the
progression for social media data mining using the Raspberry Pi.
