  <!--OS TIPS & TRICKS: click the above link (that ends in .txt) for important recommendations on how to PREPARE & SECURE YOUR OS. <p>-->
  On a Raspberry Pi, <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/">WE RECOMMEND YOU INSTALL THE LATEST RASPBERRY PI OS</a> <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-64-bit">(64-bit is recommended)</a>, using their <a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html#installing-the-operating-system">detailed instructions</a> if necessary.  WARNING: THE NOOBS OS IS *NOT* SUPPORTED, as its partitioning is very different.  To attempt an IIAB install onto a <a href=https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Platforms#operating-systems>non-supported Linux distribution</a> (AT YOUR OWN RISK) see also the <a href="https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Installation#do-everything-from-scratch">manual/legacy instructions</a>.
<p>
  <i>An Ethernet cable is highly recommended during installation.  This is more reliable AND allows an internal IIAB hotspot to be set up without confusion.</i>  WARNING: IF YOU CONNECT YOUR IIAB'S INTERNAL WI-FI TO THE INTERNET OVER 5 GHz, YOU'LL PREVENT OLDER LAPTOPS/PHONES/TABLETS (WHICH REQUIRE 2.4 GHz) FROM CONNECTING TO YOUR IIAB'S INTERNAL HOTSPOT.  For AP+STA mode, set "wifi_up_down: True" in <a href="https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#What_is_local_vars.yml_and_how_do_I_customize_it%3F">/etc/iiab/local_vars.yml</a> (<a href="https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/cbae5b71eac0a9d6894f4c741e94b033a2bb6a81/vars/local_vars_medium.yml#L94-L95">example</a>).<!--  If however you must install over Wi-Fi, remember to run "iiab-hotspot-on" after IIAB installation, TO ACTIVATE YOUR RASPBERRY PI's INTERNAL WIFI HOTSPOT (thereby killing Internet connectivity!)-->
