I have been spending a fair amount of time on my Ubuntu development environment and needed to get the Raspberry Pi configured to mirror the laptop:
Get all the latest updates for packages that are installed as well as package indices:
sudo apt-get updates
Install VNC server so that when I do need a graphical environment it is there for me:
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x728 -depth 24
Setup VNC to start on boot:
This last command is what starts VNC automatically...
sudo update-rc.d tightvncserver defaults
Start manually
sudo /etc/init.d/tightvncserver start
Install an FTP client and server (note that the FTP server will be installed to start automagically):
sudo apt-get install ftp
sudo apt-get install proftpd
Setup Python with the add-ons that I need for my Robot:
sudo apt-get install python-serial
sudo apt-get install python-opencv
sudo apt-get install python-imaging
Install the Arduino environment (won’t need it often but thought it should be there):
sudo apt-get install arduino
Install compass library (I had to copy this from development for latest version as I am not sure where I got it!)
Install beanstalkd (and all of the rest just to get a Python interface library) for inter-process queue management:
apt-get install beanstalkd
PIP (all the rest is to get support for Python)
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
sudo apt-get build-dep python-yaml
sudo pip install PyYAML
beanstalkc
sudo pip install beanstalkc
With all of the above done my RPi was acting exactly as my development environment running Ubuntu on an Intel based laptop. The RPi is, obviously, quite a bit slower but this is still an impressive feat!
