New Setup - Brian Beuken - 07-21-2026
I have had a lot of issues with some updates recently but I've managed to resolve most of them..
If you are using your Pi for the 1st time remember you need to run the setup script at least one time. It will install all the libs needed throughout the book. It will be attached to all Pi projects but here is the most updated version.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Dev environment setup � safe to re-run.
# Re-running updates the git repos to their latest version and refreshes apt packages.
# --- helper: clone a repo if it's missing, otherwise update it to the latest version ---
clone_or_update() {
url="$1"
dir="$2"
if [ -d "$dir/.git" ]; then
echo "Updating $dir (pulling latest)"
git -C "$dir" pull --ff-only
else
echo "Cloning $dir"
git clone "$url" "$dir"
fi
}
echo installing
echo installing cmake
cd "$HOME"
sudo apt update # refresh the package index so re-runs get the latest apt versions
sudo apt install cmake -y
