IS YOUR PI READY?

As far as we know, all new versions of Raspberry Pi are running Raspberry Pi OS and

Python 3...but just in case...

• We recommend upgrading to Raspberry Pi OS if you have an older OS.

• Keg Punk runs on Python 3 - check your Pi's current version by entering the following into a terminal:

python --version

- or -

python3 --version

• Upgrade to Python 3 if needed.

In the Arithmech folder, cut the “Keg Punk” launcher file.

STEP 6

Paste the file in the Desktop folder (i.e., /home/pi/Desktop). It should also show up on the Desktop.
