Software installation

Beginners should start with the NOOBS (New Out Of Box Software) operating system installation manager, which gives the user a choice of operating system from the standard distributions.

SD cards with NOOBS pre-installed should be available from any of our global distributors and resellers. Alternatively, you can download NOOBS.

Raspberry Pi OS is the recommended operating system for normal use on a Raspberry Pi.

Find help with installing Raspberry Pi OS on your Pi in our online Getting started guide.

You can browse basic examples to help you get started with some of the software available in Raspberry Pi OS, find more detail about Raspberry Pi OS, or read information on fundamental Linux usage and commands for navigating the Raspberry Pi and managing its file system and users.

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ has undergone extensive compliance testing, and meets the following European standards:

• Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC) 2014/30/EU
• Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU

View and download global compliance certificates for Raspberry Pi products.

The dual-band wireless LAN comes with modular compliance certification. This allows the board to be designed into end product with significantly reduced wireless LAN compliance testing, improving both cost and time to market.
