Raspberry Pi LCD: Step 1, Install Raspbian Official Image

This document provides instructions for installing LCD display drivers onto a Raspberry Pi in two methods: online or offline. The online method involves downloading the latest Raspbian image, formatting the SD card, burning the image, logging into the Pi over SSH, cloning the driver files from GitHub, and running the appropriate driver file based on the LCD display model. The offline method is similar but obtains the driver files by extracting them from an installation CD rather than cloning from GitHub.
