Installing and Configuring Raspberry Pi OS for the Raspberry Pi 3B+/4/400/5/500
These install notes assume that you have installed the latest version
of Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) for the Raspberry Pi:

Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit  
Release date:   Current
Kernel version: Current


Download Links:  all operating systems all-operating-systems
                 Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit) https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspios_lite_arm64/images


Please make sure that your Raspberry Pi has installed all updates
by executing the following commands from the command line using
the Terminal:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

sudo apt install fastfetch -y
sudo apt install bsdmainutils -y

(choose yes 'Y' if prompted).

If a reboot is required, please reboot your Raspberry Pi and once
logged in, open the Terminal and continue with the instructions below:

mv .profile .profile.orig

mv .bashrc .bashrc.orig


Now, execute the following commands (also from the command line):

curl -O https://matrix.senecapolytechnic.ca/~danny.abesdris/utils/installs/profile

curl -O https://matrix.senecapolytechnic.ca/~danny.abesdris/utils/installs/bashrc

mv profile .profile

mv bashrc .bashrc


Once these commands have completed, close down the terminal and open it back up
again.


If you see the following (or something simillar), see image below:
