The first step before starting development on your Raspberry is to make sure that it is up to date. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This command will update the package lists from the repositories and update them to get information on the newest versions of packages and their dependencies. The next step is to upgrade the installed packages to the latest packages. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Both of these commands will be run from the Linux terminal. This can be found on the top bar in your desktop.
