Angstrom Guide

Greetings.

After SSH’ing into the board when the default angstrom boot is loaded on I cannot seem to do anything. I’m trying to load python and get into what I consider to be the “Idle” IDE. I understand python but linux is still pretty cryptic to me. Anyone written a noob guide?

Thanks

Bill

    After you SSH in to your BBB, type the command:

       which python

    If Python is already installed (which I believe it is by default), you should see the directory path to the Python executable/interpreter. If python is not installed, it will simply return you to the shell prompt.
