There are three steps, and it is probably best to do them in this order: Install tightVNC on the Raspberry Pi and set up its password Install tightVNC on the laptop Configure tightVNC to start automatically when the Raspberry Pi is switched on. So first, let's make sure you've got the first step do...

I'm sorry to do this, but I'm having trouble installing the graphical interface, and this tutorial doesn't seem to make any sense

Thank you everyone for being the help!

What software would you recommend?

the terminal with (what I can think of off the top of my head) minecraft Pi edition

Ok thanks, but now how do I "start" it? Cause I'm seeing all these picture of this like Microsoft word type thing, but for the raspberry Pi

Ok thanks, do I need to get NOOBS off the SD card? No, if you write the Raspbian image to the card it will be overwritten anyway So I just did the raspbian thing, and a new thing popped up on the app "22 SSH Secure Shell Login" I also just did "Open" and it works, now it says "login as" And I typed...

Do I need the SD car for raspbian?

just an IP address, and underneath it says generic

Don't use NOOBS. I think that might require you to have a monitor. Use Raspbian. I've gone through this very process this afternoon and it worked perfectly. Connect the Pi to your router with an ethernet cable. Tell us how you are finding the IP address, because I'm not sure you are doing it right....

Ok, so I have a raspberry Pi 2 model B, I want to boot up... Well I'm using a laptop, and I can't figure it out, I asked my brother who also got one, you may know him as @iNeedsHelp, long story short, it was a big mistake to ask him, please give me help to set the thing up, and if you have any quest...
