With the hardware built the next step is getting the Raspberry Pi up and running and installing [LIRC](http://www.lirc.org/). [Alexba.in](http://alexba.in/) has a comprehensive post for both of these things: [RaspberryPi Quickstart](http://alexba.in/blog/2013/01/04/raspberrypi-quickstart/) and [Setting Up LIRC on the RaspberryPi](http://alexba.in/blog/2013/01/06/setting-up-lirc-on-the-raspberrypi/).
I discovered and modified a few things along the way, so heres what I did.
- Download the latest [Raspbian Image](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) and follow their [Installation Guide](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md).
- Network the Pi over wired Ethernet using RJ45 connector.
- Connect to the Pi over SSH with [PuTTy](http://www.putty.org/).
Since Id like to connect over WiFi Ive added a [Belkin USB F7D2101](https://www.belkin.com/us/support-product?pid=01t80000002G16OAAS). For future development, I also added a [ORICO BTA-402 USB Bluetooth 4.0 Micro Adapter Dongle](https://www.amazon.com/ORICO-Bluetooth-Adapter-Windows-Consumption/dp/B01827IICO) for controlling a Play Station 3 using [GIMX](https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page).
