== General Introduction ==
I will walk you trough the steps to set up a full Ravencoin node on a Raspberry Pi running within your home network. A Raspberry Pi node is one of the cheapest options for a Ravencoin node (under $75) and consumes around 5-8 Watt when running. The guide runs you trough through buying and installing hardware, setting up the operating system ([https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/ NOOBS]), installing the node, and setting up security. As there is no working Raspberry Pi graphical user interface for the Raven Core wallet, you will have to set it up through commands in the terminal. For each step, I will try to explain what you are doing and provide command lines that you need to execute. Also, I provide links that 1) don't require you to compile the node (which takes about 2 hours if it doesn't crash halfway), and 2) a direct download of 1.8GB of the blockchain, so you don't have to download it from other nodes in the network. These steps likely save you days in getting the node up and running.
My resources for setting up this guide were my previous experiences in working with Bash (linux command line language) and:
