# Install Raspberry PI OS

**These instructions are specific to the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3**

To get started I suggest a clean install of Raspbian. You can snag a fresh copy of Jessie w/ Pixel [Raspbian Download Page](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/).

For instructions on how to install Raspbian see \[How To Install Raspbian(full)]\(/docs/howto/how\_to\_install\_raspbianfull.md).

You'll also need to install Node (v6.x) which now comes bundled with npm.

```
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
```

**Getting the code**

Next up you'll want to clone this repository into your user's home folder on your Pi:

```
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/evancohen/smart-mirror.git
```

Next Step: [Install Dependencies](/installation/install_dependencies.md)
