How to run the hello_pi demo programs on Raspbian
How about running some demo programs that showcase what the Pi is capable of? Awesome graphics, anyone? Raspbian comes with a range of demo programs which you can just compile and run. They range from simple "hello world" text output, to full 1080p HD video playback, 3D spinning teapots, and real-time animating fractal patterns. These are a great way to get a feel for what the Pi can do, and to gain some familiarity with navigating around the system and running programs at the command line.
As well as a Raspberry Pi with an SD card loaded with Raspbian, you'll also need:
- Raspberry Pi
- Micro USB power adapter
- An SD Card with Raspbian already set up through NOOBS
- USB keyboard
- HDMI cable
- A monitor or TV
- 10 minutes
- Setting Up your Pi
- Oh no! A command line interface!
- Hello world
- Hello video
- Hello triangle
- Hello triangle 2
- Hello teapot
- Hello audio
- Other demos
