Since we're running Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS, it should come preinstalled with the Snap Store. You should now have the Ubuntu desktop ready to go and now it's on to installing Bitcoin Core! Your first boot may take a while so just be patient, don't freak out if you see a single purple square in the center of the screen while it's loading. Once it's done downloading, restart your Raspberry Pi and log in with the password you changed earlier.
#Bitcoin core ubuntu install#
This will take a while to download and install so just sit back and let it do its thing.

Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop Now that you're up-to-date, you can install the desktop using the command:
#Bitcoin core ubuntu upgrade#
Once it's done updating type the following to upgrade your system:
#Bitcoin core ubuntu update#
You need to update all the repositories so type: (Note you'll either have to be connected by ethernet or have edited the network-config file to setup your wifi in advance) There are plenty to choose from so feel free to use a different one than what I use, you can also choose to ignore this and to just work from in the terminal from this point forward. Now, at any time you can remote access your Raspberry Pi by entering a terminal on another PC in your network and typing: Afterward, it will print a bunch of information to the screen, write down the IPv4 address, this is the IP address you'll use to remote access the Raspberry Pi. Give it a moment to boot up, then when prompted enter "ubuntu" for the password. Go ahead and connect all your peripherals to your Raspberry Pi, insert the microSD, and connect it to power to turn it on. Now you can go ahead and eject the SD card from your computer. This will create an SSH file in your SD directory so that you can remote access the Rasberry Pi later. In the File Explorer, highlight the address bar at the top, erase the text and type cmd, press enter and the Command Prompt will pop up.

If you're on windows this is pretty easy. To connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely, you'll need to create an SSH file. You can choose the overclock the Raspberry Pi by editing the config file. When it is done, remove the SD card and reinsert it to access the files installed.

Click "choose SD card" and select your inserted microSD card.Ĭlick "Write" and wait for the imager to finish flashing the OS onto your card Insert your microSD card to your computer directly or via a USB converter. After your download and install finishes, open the imager.Ĭlick the "choose OS" box and from the list select Ubuntu, then select Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS (Raspberry Pi 2/3/4). The first thing you'll need to do is install the Raspberry Pi imager, this is how we're going to install Ubuntu onto our Raspberry Pi.

You can also set up and run the node headless this way, but I will be explaining how to set up the node using a monitor that you can then later disconnect and access remotely once everything is setup. I'm going to explain how to do this setup on a Raspberry Pi, but note that this should work on a VM as well. I was helping someone on twitter with this so I figured I'd share the information here as well so that other people would have an easier time than I did.
