Install Raspian.

  • Download image from raspberrypi.org
  • Unzip the image.
  • Format the SD card.
  • Check and note the name of the card (here: disk2s1)
    df -h

  • Unmount the disk with
    sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk2s1
  • Write the image to the SD card. NOTE: disk2s1 is now referred as rdisk2 as it is unmounted
    sudo dd bs=1m if=/Users/dennis/Downloads/2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/rdisk2

Finding IP of Raspberry Pi in headless mode and SSH to it.

  • Open your router configuration usually 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 and find the page with internet sessions.
  • Turn on your Raspberry Pi and watch for new entries. Voila, there you have it.
  • Connect via SSH to Raspberry Pi. Default user and password for the Raspian image are user:pi and password:raspberry.

Configuration Raspberry Pi

  • Open configuration manager.
    sudo raspi-config
  • Unless it has been updated since I wrote this, the image you installed is only set to see about 256MB of RAM. If you have the latest revision Pi, you have 512MB RAM, and there’s no reason to waste half of it. If you run the “top” command and see ~188MB total RAM, you’ll need to update the OS to see all available RAM.
    sudo -i
  • Enter the following command, which takes about five minutes to complete.
    apt-get update
  • The final command is just slightly different than the first, so be careful entering it. Also, it takes over an hour to complete, so you’ll need to be patient.
    apt-get upgrade
  • When the commands finish, reboot your Pi and run the top command again. This time, the total RAM should be close to 512MB.

Install Java JDK.

  • Upgrade Raspberry Pi package manager
    sudo apt-get update
  • Install Java JDK
    sudo apt-get install default-jdk
  • When a newer version of Java is available then you can uninstall the package by
    sudo apt-get remove --purge package
    sudo apt-get clean
  • Here is how to install Java7 from oracle
    sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-jdk

Install Tomcat7 with manager and examples.

  • Install tomcat on raspberry Pi
    sudo apt-get install tomcat7
    sudo apt-get install tomcat7-admin tomcat7-examples tomcat7-docs
  • Add user to tomcat-users.xml
    sudo nano /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    <tomcat-users>
        <user username="pi" password="raspberry" roles="manager-gui,admin-gui"/>
    </tomcat-users>
  • Restart tomcat application server
    sudo service tomcat7 restart
