The usual updates

Before loading the software components it is good practice to ensure that the distro is updated, so it has all the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the source repo:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo shutdown -r now

The upgrade command is used to install the newest versions of all packages that are currently installed on the Pi. An update command is performed first so that apt-get knows if new versions of packages are available for upgrade. Restarting an OS after major changes will help in the long run. It make troublesho­oting problems easier. Performing a number of tasks on an OS before rebooting creates the difficultl­y of trying to determine what change may have caused the error.
