sdb                     8:16   1   7.4G  0 disk                       <-- Example: sdb
├─sdb1                  8:17   1  43.2M  0 part /media/johnnychu/boot
└─sdb2                  8:18   1   7.4G  0 part /media/johnnychu/rootfs

3. Use dd to build image

$ sudo dd bs=1M if=2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch.img of=/dev/sdb conv=fsync status=progress

$ vim ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

autostart

++ @unclutter -display :0 -idle 3 -root -noevents

5. Changed Screen Resolution to 800x480

$ sudo vim /boot/config.txt

config.txt

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
-- # hdmi_force_hotplug=1
++ hdmi_force_hotplug=1
 
# uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (here we are forcing 800x480!)
-- # hdmi_group=2
++ hdmi_group=2
-- # hdmi_mode=4
++ hdmi_mode=87
++ hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0

6. Install NVM for NodeJS

$ wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
$ nvm install 8.11.4
