The Lollipop is a [single-board computer (SBC) (link)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_computer) cloud device, with the ability to manage your own cellular internet, wifi, VPN, firewall, web server, data backup and syncing, ad blocker, notes and project management, git, RSS feeds, "read it later" bookmark management, GPS mapping, and more. Some of these features (like GPS and cellular internet) require extra hardware, but the base device consists of an SBC with an SD memory card loaded with Armbian.
# Getting Started
You will need a single-board computer (SBC) like a [Pine64](https://www.pine64.org/) or an [Orange Pi (link)](http://www.orangepi.org/). For more about hardware, and why the Raspberry Pi is not recommended, see the [hardware notes (link)](https://git.lollipop.holdmybeer.solutions/lollipop-cloud/lolipop_lan_cloud/src/branch/master/docs/hardware_notes.md). There are more [preflight hardware considerations (link)]([I'm a relative reference to a repository file](../blob/master/LICENSE)), as well.

There are additional [preflight hardware considerations (link)](preflight.md), as well.
For the basic start up and set up of your Pine64, you will need either (a) a keyboard and a way to view the display (HDMI cord OR a [serial console](https://www.pine64.org/?product=padi-serial-console)), OR (b) an ethernet connection.
You will also need an SD card formatted with Armbian installed.
## Installing Armbian onto an SD card
[Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/) is a Linux operating system based on Debian and Ubuntu, specifically designed for [ARM boards (link)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture). You will need to [download Armbian for the board you're setting up (link)](https://www.armbian.com/download/) (we're using a Pine64 and recommend [Armbian Xenial (link)](https://www.armbian.com/pine64/)), and save it to your computer. NOTE: experienced users might want to use the experimental versions, but the rest of us should stick to the supported and stable builds.

We recommend using Xenial (for HDMI) if you've never set up a serial connection before, because additional drivers and software are required to get your development computer to communicate with the Lollipop via serial connection. __NOTE:__ experienced users might want to use the experimental versions, but the rest of us should stick to the supported and stable builds.
You will need to extract (unzip) the Armbian file once it downloads. Armbian is downloaded as a 7z archive (with the file extension .7z), so you may need a special program to extract this file. Try [Keka (link)](https://www.keka.io/) for MacOS, [7-zip (link)](http://www.7-zip.org/) for Windows, or 7z for Linux (`apt-get install p7zip-full`). Extract the file to a location you can remember (such as your desktop).

At first boot, you will be prompted to log in with the default login (root) and password (1234), and then prompted to change your root password. When you set your root password, make it a good one and don't forget it! Anyone with root access to your computer will have access to everything on that computer, including the ability to make malicious changes.

NOTE: If you are connected via SSH (running without a display or "headless"), you can also install [VNC Viewer (link)](https://www.realvnc.com/) on your development computer, and [set up VNC (Virtual Network Computing) on your Pine64 (link)](https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=794), so you can connect virtually without having to deal with a separate keyboard/monitor/etc setup. This is something you may use many times in the future, so it's worth taking the time to set it up, even if you're currently using a dedicated keyboard and display for your Lollipop.

__Note:__ if you get an error like `perl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_US.UTF-8").

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory`, try the following command: `export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"`.
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory`, try the following command: `export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"`. If you continue to get this error, you can edit the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file (see the next paragraph for more detail about file editing, but you will have to do `sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config`) and comment out (add `#` to) the `SendEnv LANG LC_*` line.
You will have to edit some files. Nano is a simple built-in text editor, but feel free to use your text editor of choice. Examples here will use Nano.
