Follow the installation instruction to create the SD card
Start your RPi connected to Ethernet

From a computer in the same LAN, ssh into the RPi using the default hostname:
```
  local $ ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
```
Disable graphical boot mode and reboot:
```
  $ sudo raspi-config
```

Configure locales and time zone:

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

  $ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge libx11-.* lxde-.* raspberrypi-artwork xkb-data omxplayer penguinspuzzle sgml-base xml-core alsa-.* cifs-.* samba-.* fonts-.* desktop-* gnome-.*
  $ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge $(deborphan)
  $ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
  $ sudo apt-get autoclean
  $ sudo apt-get update

Create new user for TTN and add it to sudoers

  $ sudo adduser ttn sudo

Logout and login as ttn and remove the default pi user
```
  $ sudo userdel -rf pi
```
