What you need for this book

Using any Linux distribution with the bash shell should be sufficient to complete this book. In the book we use examples that are produced using the Raspbian distribution on a Raspberry Pi; however, Linux distribution should be sufficient. If you have access to the command line in OS X on Apple systems, then you should be able to carry out most of the exercises without Linux.
