How to Enable SSH on Headless Raspberry Pi Running Raspbian using Windows 10 @howtwos101

howtwos101 This video will show you how to enable SSH on a headless Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi with no Monitor, keyboard, or mouse) with a Windows computer. This will also work on a Linux or Mac computer.

I am using the Raspberry Pi 3B+: amzn.to/2Tnsc0l and recommend using a 2.5A minimum power supply, such as: amzn.to/2G0wcku I usually use whatever SD cards I can get cheaply, but recommend minimum 8GB and class 10, here's an example of a good cheap option: amzn.to/2MHJkvb If you need recommendations for good compatible Pi hardware just leave a comment below.

If you need to install Raspbian on your SD card first, check out this video: youtu.be/7D4GlBe0Ze4

To start, just pop the SD card from the Raspberry Pi into your computer. Once it is in, it should pop up with the boot directory, otherwise click it on the left of your file browser.

Here you will need to add a blank file called ssh. Just right click in the folder window, go to new, and choose text document. Then just delete the full name, and name it ssh. You need to make sure to delete the .txt portion as well. If this does not show up, go to view, then Options, change folder and search options, go to the view tab, and uncheck hide extensions for known file types.

After you create the file, put the SD card back in your Raspberry Pi, and boot it up. You can now connect over SSH. If you are on Windows, I recommend using Putty for SSH, which you can download here: ninite.com

The default hostname for the Pi is raspberrypi.local, so feel free to use that unless you have multiple Pi's on the same network, otherwise you will have to get fancy to find the IP address, or you will need to change the Pi's hostname when directly connected.

The default username and password for the connection is pi and raspberry. I would highly recommend changing the default password for security.

How to Manually Install Latex Packages with MikTex on Windows 10

howtwos101 2018-11-18 | This video will show you how to manually install install Latex packages in MikTex in Windows 10. Most packages (graphicx, float, tocloft, hyperref, etc)

Most of the packages can be downloaded from CTAN: ctan.org/?lang=en

You can search the package on CTAN, or just google the package, such as "float package Latex", then just hit download to get a zipped file of the Latex package.

After it downloads, right click on the package and choose the extract all option.

In the extracted folder check if there is a .sty file, this is generally what the package is looking for. If there is a .sty and no .ins, then you can directly proceed to making the folders and importing them to Latex. If there is a .ins, you will need to run Latex on it first. You can do this by clicking the browser bar at the top, and type in cmd and hit enter. In the command window that pops up, type:

latex packagename.ins

Then hit enter to build the package. Some packages may require additional options in the command prompt, others need no input, or just need you to hit enter again as the one in the video does.

After the package is built, you will need to create a folder to store all the packages. It needs to have the specific format of a base folder with any name, and then a folder inside of it name tex, and then a folder inside that named latex.

After you create this folder, you can drag any packages inside the latex folder. You want the folder that has the .sty inside of it. You can right click on it to choose copy, then paste it into the folder.

The next step is to open the MikTex Settings (Admin) program, which you can find by searching MikTex. In the window that pops up, choose the Roots tab, and then hit add at the bottom. Here, search for the top folder you created (NOT the tex or latex folder), and choose it. Then hit apply at the bottom and a window should pop up and quickly and install all of the packages.

Your Latex installation should now be able to utilize those packages. If you have correctly put your packages in the folder and Latex still does not recognize them, try going back into the MikTex settings and remove and re-add the folder, and apply it again. The packages should now be available.

Latex How to Add Images in Folders to Document Texmaker

howtwos101 2018-11-16 | This video will show you how to add images to your Latex document that are not in the same sub directory.

To add a path to be searched, make sure you have the \usepackage{graphicx} at the top of your document. Then you can add paths to search by using

\graphicspath{{Path1}{Path2}}

You can either use the absolute path (C:/....) or a relative path (../../Figures).

To get the absolute path of an image to add to the path, right click on the image and go to properties, and the path will be there.

How to Enable VNC on Headless Raspberry Pi Running Raspbian and Set Resolution

howtwos101 2018-11-15 | This video will show you how to enable VNC on your headless Raspberry Pi (no display, keyboard, or mouse) and set the resolution. I am assuming that you have SSH set up, so if you do not, go through this video first: youtu.be/Q1jWk_nu3Ds

I am using the Raspberry Pi 3B+: amzn.to/2Tnsc0l and recommend using a 2.5A minimum power supply, such as: amzn.to/2G0wcku I usually use whatever SD cards I can get cheaply, but recommend minimum 8GB and class 10, here's an example of a good cheap option: amzn.to/2MHJkvb If you need recommendations for good compatible Pi hardware just leave a comment below.

First step is to go through SSH and run the command:

sudo raspi-config

Here, go to the interface options, and then select VNC, and go to yes to enable it.

Now you can use your VNC viewer to connect. If you do not have a VNC viewer, you can download it from here: ninite.com

Once you have VNC working, you can either go back to SSH, or go to the terminal in the VNC viewer. Here run the command

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

This is a text file of the boot configuration for the Pi. You will need to remove the hashtag before
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=1

Then, change the mode and group to match your wanted display settings. For 1080p, use

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82

The list of other resolution options can be found here: elinux.org/RPiconfig#Video

The hit ctrl+o then enter to save, and then hit ctrl+x to exit. Now run sudo reboot to reboot the Pi. When it boots back up you will have VNC with 1080p resolution.

How to Install Raspbian on Raspberry Pi Using Windows 10

howtwos101 2018-11-14 | This video shows how to install Raspbian on an SD card from Windows 10. It can also be used for the other operating systems in the NOOBS package.

I am using the Raspberry Pi 3B+: amzn.to/2Tnsc0l and recommend using a 2.5A minimum power supply, such as: amzn.to/2G0wcku I usually use whatever SD cards I can get cheaply, but recommend minimum 8GB and class 10, here's an example of a good cheap option: amzn.to/2MHJkvb If you need recommendations for good compatible Pi hardware just leave a comment below.

To download the operating system image, go here: raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian

I downloaded the Raspbian Stretch Desktop version, but if you don't need the desktop environment you can download the Lite version to just use command line. You can also choose the NOOBS installer which also includes LibreElec. Any of these opt

After the image is downloaded, you will also need to download etcher: balena.io/etcher

Run etcher, and then once it opens use the farthest left option to select the Raspbian image you downloaded.

The most important option is the center, where you select what drive to install to. Double check that you select the correct drive. Whichever drive you select will wiped, and all data will be deleted to install Raspbian on that drive.

After you have selected your drive and the image, hit flash and let it run it's course. This should take 5-30 minutes.

Once the flashing process is finished, you can put the SD card back in the Raspberry Pi, and plug it into a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It should then boot up to the Raspbian Desktop and you'll be good to go.

How to Get Started with Latex on Windows 10 Texmaker MiKTeX

howtwos101 2018-07-21 | This video will show you how to install Latex, and make your first PDF output on Windows 10. This is not the only software or method for doing it, just the way that has worked best for me. You will just need to install 2 software packages, MiKTeX and Texmaker. Texmaker is the editor for Latex, where MiKTeX handles the compiling.

MiKTeX can be downloaded from: miktex.org/help

Texmaker can be downloaded from: http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html

After you have them downloaded, just run through the installation. You can essentially select the defaults for installation for both.

Once the installations are finished, open Texmaker. To make your first Latex document, just click on new at the top left. After that, I would paste in some known working Latex so you can test it out. In the video I used: http://mally.stanford.edu/~sr/computing/latex-example.html

Click the arrow to the left of quick build to compile the latex document. It should ask you if you want to install lingmacros, because it is the first time that has been used, so just click yes to install it. It will not ask you if you want to install tree-dvips because that is included in the Latex installation already.

After the package installation is completed, then the compiled PDF will show up on the right. If you make a change and compile again, it will compile much faster because it has all of the packages required.

How to easily convert Binary Hex Octal Decimal on Windows

howtwos101 2018-07-19 | This video will show you how to utilize the windows calculator to easily convert between number systems, including hexadecimal, binary, octal, and decimal.

First, just open the Windows calculator. This can be found by clicking start, typing calc, and hitting enter.

When the calculator pops up, click the menu in the top left, and choose the programmer option.

Then, to convert number systems, just choose the system on the left that you want to convert from, and then type in your number. So if you had the Hex number C5, if you click on hex and type it in, then the decimal box on the left will show 197, which is the decimal equivalent of the hex value C5.

This works the same with binary and octal. The only weirdness that I have noticed is that the large display at the top will cut off leading zeroes from a binary number (which doesn't affect the value, similar to adding zeroes in front of a decimal number), while the value on the left will keep binary in groups of 4 and will keep the leading zeroes. So if you need the leading zeroes, use the left result for ease of use, or the large value if you don't need them.

How to add themes to local Wordpress installation .zip XAMPP

howtwos101 2018-07-18 | This video will show you how to add new themes to your local wordpress installation, including ones that you download from elsewhere in the .zip format.

The video assumes you already have a local wordpress installation up and running,. If you do not, check out this other video on how to create a local wordpress installation using XAMPP: youtu.be/CTQN2HdjvYo

The first method is to use the Wordpress admin panel. This is the same method used if you want to upload a theme to a non-local Wordpress site. Just go to the appeareance menu on the left of the admin interface, and choose themes. In the themes window, go to add new at the top, and then upload theme at the top. This will bring up an option where you can browse your computer for the theme you downloaded. You can also just drag the .zip file to the browse button, and then hit install now. After a few seconds the theme will be uploaded and extracted. If you go back to the themes panel you will now see the theme there, ready to be activated.

If you want to use the folder installation method instead, you will have to extract the theme first. Right click on the .zip file, and go to extract all. Then, go into the folder it created, and make sure you copy the folder that has the theme content directly inside it (there will probably be another folder with the same name inside the one it created when extracting, which is likely the one you want). Right click on this folder and select copy.

Then go to your XAMPP installation. Mine is at C:\xampp but you could have selected somewhere else in your XAMPP installation. Then go into xampp, into htdocs, and then into your wordpress installation there. Then go into wp-content, and then themes. This is where you can right click and paste the theme. Now you can go into the wordpress admin panel and the themes page, and the theme will appear there, ready for activation.

How to CPU Mine Bitcoins 2018 Updated Windows 10

howtwos101 2018-01-13 | If you want to exchange your bitcoins for other crypto: (Ethereum, XRB, Litecoin) this is a handy exchange: kucoin.com/#/?r=256xv

I have a video on how to use it here: youtu.be/wlibr6PTFWc

The website used for mining in this video is: nicehash.com

First, create an account on NiceHash, and then go to the bottom of the page and choose the CPU GPU mining option. Then hit download NiceHash miner. It will then ask if you want to download the AMD or Nvidia software. If you plan on mining with your GPU, download the one that matches your GPU type (you can find it in device manager under display adapters). If you don't plan on GPU mining, download either one.

Once it is downloaded, install the program. Then when it opens, hit wallet and either put in your NiceHash user id to deposit to your NiceHash Bitcoin wallet, or at the bottom you can select to put in an external wallet.

After you input your wallet, you can just hit start mining. This will benchmark your GPU, and hopefully your CPU. This can take up to 15 minutes, so just be patient.

When it is finished, you should be bitcoin mining. Go into the mining statistics and check if your CPU is enabled. If it is, then you are good to go. If it is not, or you want to turn off your GPU, then you will have to go into the advanced settings. Go to configure, advanced, and then open the config file. This will bring you to a folder that contains the configuration files for the miner.

You will need to edit the General.json file. Open it with a text editor, and then scroll down to the section where you see your CPU and GPU. If the CPU has Enabled = False, then change that to a true to activate it. If you want to disable the GPU, change the true by it to a false.

You can then save the file, and will have to restart NiceHash for the changes to take affect.

It will need to run the benchmark again when you hit start mining for the CPU, but then should mine using your CPU.

Updated 2018 How to mine Bitcoin with GPU Video Card Windows 10

howtwos101 2018-01-12 | If you want to exchange your bitcoins for other crypto: (Ethereum, XRB, Litecoin) this is a handy exchange: kucoin.com/#/?r=256xv

I have a video on how to use it here: youtu.be/wlibr6PTFWc

The website used for mining in this video is: nicehash.com

First, make your account on Nicehash. Next, login and go to the bottom and select the CPU GPU mining option.

In the next window, choose to download the nicehash crypto miner. It will then give you two options, NVIDIA and AMD. Make sure to select the one that matches your video card. You can check which you have by going to the device manage, and expanding display adapters.

Once the software downloads, run through the installation.

After it finishes, first set up the wallet. The easiest method is to deposit into the nicehash wallet by just inputting your username (email). You can also give it a bitcoin address by clicking the option at the bottom.

After you set up the wallet, you can just hit start mining. The first time it runs it will do a benchmark, which can take 5-15 minutes. Once it finishes, you should be mining and earning bitcoin. You can view your worker statistics in the Nicehash miner, or remotely by going to their website.

Some CPU's will be included in the miner by default, some won't. Check out my next video for how to add your CPU to the miner, or enable or disable individual mining devices (for example if you have multiple video cards, or sometimes want to only mine with your CPU or GPU)

How to exchange crypto currency Bitcoin and altcoins Ethereum Ripple

howtwos101 2018-01-11 | This video will show you how to exchange cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Neo, Neogas, Kucoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and many others.

You can watch my video on how to buy Bitcoin Ethereum Litecoin Bitcoin Cash on Coinbase with no fees here: youtu.be/TWhriHGWWpg

Always be very careful about security with online exchanges, and do some resource. They are not government backed, so could run off with your coins at any point in time. So make sure to stick to well trusted exchanges, such as kucoin, binance, and bittrex. But even this can change over time, so do some research right before using the exchange to make sure it is still trustworthy.

First, make a Kucoin account. Next, go to the assets page, and go to deposit. Choose the coin you want to move to the exchange from the list.

Double check you have the right coin selected, because crypto sent to wrong type (such as sending Ethereum to Ethereum Fog) will result in the coins being lost forever.

Copy the wallet address it gives you for that currency, and go to your wallet for that crypto, and send it to the address at Kucoin. Depending on which altcoin you select, and the network fee, it can take a few minutes (or hours) to confirm to Kucoin. Currently seems like the fastest transfers are with Litecoin.

Once the currency confirms on the exchange, you can go to the market tab, and select the currency you want to exchange for. This will bring you to the market window, which is a bit confusing at first.

At the top left, select the first currency you want to trade, then in the list that pops up, select the currency you want to exchange it to. Then down in the bottom right you can select the amount to exchange, by either buying or selling. Double check that you are doing your exchange correctly (buying instead of selling for instance)

Then just hit buy/sell and it will take a few seconds to execute. When it is finished, you will have the new type of crypto in your wallet.

How to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum with no fees (BTC LTC ETH BCH)

howtwos101 2018-01-09 | This video will show you how to buy Bitcoins, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin using dollars with no fees. Once you have the digital currency you can send it to any online exchange to get any other altcoins you want.

First, sign up for a Coinbase account, and transfer some money to your account. If you use the bank account transfer, then there are no fees, and the money will be in your account in around 8 days.

You will also need a gdax account, which will be the same login as your coinbase. Make sure to sign up while you are waiting for your funds to show up in Coinbase, because the approval process can sometimes take a few days.

Once, you have money in your account and a gdax account, go to gdax, and select the cryptocurrency you want to buy. There will be a deposit button there, hit that and choose the coinbase option to move your dollars from coinbase over to GDAX.

Once the money is in GDAX, create a limit buy order. This is just setting how much crypto you want to buy, and at what price. If the price drops to that value it will automatically be purchased. You want to do a limit buy rather than market, because a market buy has fees.

After the purchase is filled, you will have your Bitcoins with no fees!

How to Lower Bitcoin Fee and See Transaction Size in Bitcoin Core

howtwos101 2017-12-15 | This video will show you how to find your transaction size in kb, so you can calculate your transaction fee, but also show how you can select certain bitcoins to send to lower your fee.

First, go to your bitcoin core installation, go to settings, and then options. Then the wallet tab, and then enable coin control operations.

This will make a new box appear on your send tab, titled coin control.

If you hit inputs there, you will see a list of all of your BTC in your wallet, as seperate inputs. Each one you select will increase your transaction size, and also your fee. You can use this to tailor how much you send to get the lowest fee.

There is also the change listing, where this is the difference between what you selected there, and the amount you input to send.

The fee is also based on what you set as a fee at the bottom, it just shows you more calculations for how it is found, and the total fee.

How to compare files and folders in Windows 10

howtwos101 2017-12-14 | This video will show you how to compare files and folders on Windows 10.

The software you will need download is winmerge, from ninite.com.

After the program installs, run it and hit the folder icon at the top.

It will ask for a right and left file/folder. Hit browse beside left, then choose the folder you want to compare. Then hit browse by right, and choose the second file/folder.

After you select the file, choose include subfolders at the bottom, and then hit ok on the right. Depending on the amount of files and their size it can take a little time to do the comparison.

Once it is done, you will see a list of all of the files in the folder that you chose to compare. If the files are text, and readable, then winmerge will tell you if the files are the same or not, and if they are different you can double click on the file and view the differences.

You can also see if files only exist in one of the folders, as the file will be listed as left or right only.

How to set up FTP server Windows 10 transfer files local network

howtwos101 2017-12-13 | This video will show you how to set up an FTP server on Windows 10 to transfer files on your local network. This can be extended to work over the internet, but you will need to set up port forwarding and dynamic DNS.

The software you need is Filezilla server from filezilla-project.org

When it installs, you can leave everything as default, the only one you might want to change is if it starts with Windows or not.

Once installed, just click on the icon at the top that looks like a single face. Here you can create a user on the right, by hitting add. Give the user a name, and leave the group empty. Then hit ok.

Once the user is added, you can choose to add a password by clicking the check box in the middle for password, then typing in a password.

Then go to the shared folders tab on the left. Here hit add to add a folder to the FTP share, the first one will be your home folder. Choose whatever folder you want to share from the browse window.

After selecting the folder, choose the permissions you want for that user. By default they only have read file, but if you want them to be able to add new files check write on the right.

Now you just need to use your IP address on any other computer on the network to connect.

FInd you IP address by searching cmd and going to the command prompt, and typing ipconfig. Then you should see your IP address listed as IPV4 address.

Go to any other computers file window (or browser) and type in ftp://YOURIPADDRESS

This will prompt for the username and password you created. Once entered, you can use the folder (depending on permissions) as if it was a folder on your local computer to share files over the network.

How to Convert Raw Canon CR2 Pictures to JPG PNG or TIF

howtwos101 2017-12-11 | This tutorial will show you how to convert those CR2 files into an easier format to distribute, such as JPG (JPEG) PNG or TIF, using the free software irfanview. You can download it here: fosshub.com/IrfanView.html

This also has the batch conversion files, so you can automatically convert large amounts of CR2 files.

First, download the irfanview installation and plugins.

Next, install irfanview. Then install the plugins. If you don't have the plugins you will get a formats.dll error when trying to open a CR2 file.

Once you have those both installed, open irfanview. In the file menu, choose the batch conversion/rename option.

In the window that pops up, choose the format you want to convert too from the list on the left. Then, on the right, change the files of type dropdown to the CRW/CR2 Canon CRW Type. Then navigate to your files in the folder structure above.

Just double click on the files to add them to the conversion, or if there are a bunch in the same file, just hit add all.

Once you have added all of the files to convert, select your output folder on the left. The default C:/TEMP works fine but you may want to put them in a more convenient location.

Once you select the output folder, hit start batch and let it run.

Check your set output folder after and the files should all be there. The quality should still be the same, but the images will be in a new format and much smaller file size.

How to set up Noise Gate in OBS Open Broadcast Studio

howtwos101 2017-12-11 | This video will show you how to set up a noise gate in OBS (Open Broadcast Studio). First, make sure you have the newest version of OBS, as they have added more filters with newer versions. So if the noise gate filter is missing from OBS, that is your first step.

This is particularly effective with a condenser microphone such as a Blue Yeti, or Blue Snowball, but can also be helpful for a dynamic microphone.

To add the noise gate, go to the audio input where you are recording from, and hit the gear icon, and then go to filters. In the filters window, right click on the left side, and choose add, and noise gate.

The default settings for the noise gate should work well immediately, so try recording something to test that first, and then come back and mess with the settings.

The first setting, close threshold, is the audio level where if it goes below, it will stop recording. Having this to high will cut you off while recording, and too low won't reject background noise. This always needs to be lower than the open threshold.

The open threshold is where if the volume is higher than that level, it will start recording. If you set it too high, it won't record you talking at normal levels, and too low it will record noise you wanted to reject.

The attack time is how soon it starts recording after the open threshold is reached. This can help cut off loud noises, but if the number is too high it will cut off your speech.

The hold time is how long it will keep recording after your volume drops below the close threshold. If you set it too low, you'll hear cutouts while you're talking, and too high you will notice background noise after you stop talking.

The release time is how long it takes to fade out when the hold time has passed. Too long will make background noise noticeable, and too short will make sharp cutoffs in sound when you gentle slops so the filter isn't noticeable.

How to find all Users on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian

howtwos101 2017-12-09 | This video will show you how to search for all user accounts on your Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

First, open up the terminal, and then use the command

cat /etc/passwd

Then hit enter.

The list that comes up will have a bunch of accounts, likely plenty that you did not create. This is likely because some programs you have installed, set up user accounts for their daemons (software that allows them to do things in the background). It can be hard to extinguish these accounts from the real ones. Generally the real accounts are the ones that have a home directory listed after them, as well as having their shell set to bash.

This can be really helpful for removing old accounts you don't need, or get the exact name so you can change the users password.

How to Change Password on Rasbperry Pi of any User (Raspbian)

howtwos101 2017-12-08 | This video will show you how to change the user password of any account on your Raspberry Pi (provided you are logged in with an account that has root privileges).

To change your current account password, you can go into the menu, go to preferences, and then Raspberry Pi configuration. There will be a button at the top of the system tab, that just says change password. Click it, and then put in your current and new password, and hit ok.

To do it through command line, to change the password of any user on the Pi, use the command:

sudo passwd pi

Where pi would get replaced by the username you want to change the password of. Just type the new password in at the prompts, and you'll be good to go.

If you want to list all of the current usernames on the machine, use

cat /etc/passwd

How to copy files to Raspberry Pi over Network from Windows

howtwos101 2017-12-07 | This video will show you how to copy even large files to your Raspberry Pi from Windows, and from the Pi to Windows.

I am using the Raspberry Pi 3B+: amzn.to/2Tnsc0l and recommend using a 2.5A minimum power supply, such as: amzn.to/2G0wcku I usually use whatever SD cards I can get cheaply, but recommend minimum 8GB and class 10, here's an example of a good cheap option: amzn.to/2MHJkvb If you need recommendations for good compatible Pi hardware just leave a comment below.

First, go on your Raspberry Pi, open the terminal, and type in ifconfig and hit enter. This will give you a list of the network interfaces, and their IP addresses. Find the interface you are using (likely eth0 for wired, wlan0 for wireless) and write down the IP address.

Then in the terminal, type sudo raspi-config and hit enter. Then go down to interfacing options, and hit enter. Then scroll to SSH and hit enter, and arrow to yes, and hit enter one more time. Then just go to finish to go back to the terminal.

Then go to your windows computer, and download winscp. You can get this from www.ninite.com

Open winscp, and put in the Raspberry Pi IP address in the hostname, and the Raspberry Pi username and password. Because you have enabled SSH, it is highly recommended to change the password from the default pi/raspberry.

Next just hit login, and it will take you to a Window with two file structures. The one on the left is Windows, and the one on the right is the Pi. Simply navigate to the file you want to transfer, and then drag it to where you want it to copy on the other side, and it will copy it over. Large files may take a few minutes, but overall the process should be very fast.

How to save tabs in Google Chrome

howtwos101 2017-12-06 | This video will show you how to save tabs in Google Chrome, so they are there even after closing and reopening Chrome.

I use this feature all the time to save tabs as active until I am finished with them for long research projects, or to have a tab always open that I use a lot, such as in the video for making shortlinks.

Simply open Google Chrome and go to the website where you want to save the tab. Then, right click on the tab itself, and choose pin tab. Now this tab will open every time with Chrome.

Anytime you want to get rid of the tab, just right click on it and choose unpin, and it will reverse the process

Windows 10 How to Open Command Prompt in Current Folder or Directory

howtwos101 2017-12-05 | This video will show you how to open the Windows command prompt in the current folder in Windows 10.

There are two methods for opening the command prompt. The first method is changing in newer versions of Windows 10 to open Powershell, but the second method will always open command prompt.

The first method is to open the folder where you need the command prompt. Then, right click in the window and select the Open Command Window here (in newer versions may be Open Powershell here).

The second method is to clear the folder structure bar at the top, and type in CMD, then hit enter. This will open the command prompt (and not Powershell) in the current directory.

How to use iperf to test local network LAN speed in Windows 10

howtwos101 2017-12-04 | This video will show you how to use iperf to test your local network (LAN) speed in Windows 10. You will need 2 computers on the same network, and the IP Address of one of them.

First, go to https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php and download the newest version of iperf for you operating system.

The file that will download is a zip file, so you will need to right click on it and choose extract all. This will create a folder in the same directory with the name iperf-3.1.3-win64 (or the same name as whichever version you downloaded).

Go into this folder, and find the iperf application. You will need to hold shift and right click in the folder, and there will be an option for either Open Command Windows here or Open Powershell here. Click on that and a window will open.

On the first computer, you will need to find the IP address, and then run iperf as a server.

To find the IP address, type ipconfig and then hit enter. In the text that pops up, look for the line under your network adapter that says IPV4 address, the IP should look something like 192.168.1.120.

Next, if you are in powershell (the blue window) type ./iperf3.exe -s and hit enter. If you have the command prompt open, DON'T put in the ./ so just type iperf3.exe -s and hit enter.

Next, go the other computer, download and extract iperf, and then shift+right click and open the Powershell/command prompt.

If the window is powershell (blue window) type ./iperf3.exe -c 192.168.1.120 where 192.168.1.120 is replaced by the IP address of the computer you are running the iperf server on. Again if you are running command prompt instead, just don't include the ./

This will run several speed tests and give the average of them. If you have good gigabit equipment and wiring, the result should be around 950Mbs. If you only have 100Mbs, then you will probably see 90-95Mbs, and if you are on WIFI, then you it all depends on signal strength and type (Wireless G, N, AC, etc)

How to check your local network LAN speed in Windows 10

howtwos101 2017-12-03 | This video will show you how to check your negotiated local area network speed in Windows 10. This is the theoretical maximum network speed that you computer could utilize. This is not the same as your internet speed, but would limit your internet speed if the internet is faster than this value (as in, your computer shows a 100mb connection, but you can get 150mb from your ISP).

This essentially will show you what the connection speed is between you, and whatever device connects you to the network.

So if your computer has a gigabit network card, but this shows 100mb, then you can assume the router/switch you are connected to is 100mb, and you will need to update it to get gigabit. Or alternatively, if you know it is also a gigabit router/switch, you may need to update your cabling (Good quality Cat5e or Cat6 for gigabit)

This can also show you your negotiated WIFI LAN speed, so you can see if you wireless speed is keeping you from quickly transferring files over your local network.

How to run a program on startup in Windows 10

howtwos101 2017-12-02 | This video will show you how to add programs to run on boot on Windows 10.

First, go to the start menu, type run, and hit enter.

In the box that pops up, type shell:startup

This will bring you to the Windows startup folder. Any application added to the folder will start automatically on boot.

To add a program here, go to the start menu and find the program you want to add. Right click on the program, go to more, and select open file location. Here, right click on the shortcut to the application you want, and select copy. Then go back to the startup folder and right click and choose paste. This program will now start on startup.

If you want to remove the program from starting on boot, just delete the program from the folder.

You can also stop a program from starting on startup by right clicking on your task bar, choosing task manager, then going to more details in the bottom left, then choosing the startup tab at the top.

If there are any programs in that list you want to stop from running on startup, just click on them and hit disable in the bottom right. Click on any disabled items and hit enable to re-enable them.

How to Find Space used on Raspberry Pi 3

howtwos101 2017-11-30 | This video will show you how to find out how much disk space (the SD card) is used on your Raspberry Pi. Keep in mind that there two formats for displaying space, GB and GiB where a GB = 10^9 (1 Billion) and a GiB = 2^30 (1.074 Billion). This causes sizes to read differently.

I am using the Raspberry Pi 3B+: amzn.to/2Tnsc0l and recommend using a 2.5A minimum power supply, such as: amzn.to/2G0wcku I usually use whatever SD cards I can get cheaply, but recommend minimum 8GB and class 10, here's an example of a good cheap option: amzn.to/2MHJkvb If you need recommendations for good compatible Pi hardware just leave a comment below.

So generally if you buy an 8GB SD card, Linux will display the size as 7.44GiB.

Also, if you have the card partitioned, it will only show the space available on the partition Raspbian is installed on.

The command to run is df -h, which will show the total available and used space of all filesystems. The one for your SD card should be the top option.

How to Update Raspberry Pi 3 Raspbian Packages

howtwos101 2017-11-06 | This video will show you how to update all installed programs on your Raspberry Pi to the newest version. It's always advised if you're having issues to run an update, as well as if you are going to install new programs.

I am using the Raspberry Pi 3B+: amzn.to/2Tnsc0l and recommend using a 2.5A minimum power supply, such as: amzn.to/2G0wcku I usually use whatever SD cards I can get cheaply, but recommend minimum 8GB and class 10, here's an example of a good cheap option: amzn.to/2MHJkvb If you need recommendations for good compatible Pi hardware just leave a comment below.

The commands to update Raspbian programs are

sudo apt-get update

and

sudo apt-get upgrade

The update will get all of the newest packages, and upgrade will install them. So make sure to run update first.

When you run upgrade, if there are packages to be installed there will usually be a prompt for if you are ok with using the additional space required for the installs. Just type yes and hit enter and the install will continue.

How to Find out what Version of Raspbian is Running on a Raspberry Pi

howtwos101 2017-10-12 | This video will show you how to find out what version of Raspbian is running on your Raspberry Pi (or really what version of Linux you have on any Debian based operating system)

I am using the Raspberry Pi 3B+: amzn.to/2Tnsc0l and recommend using a 2.5A minimum power supply, such as: amzn.to/2G0wcku I usually use whatever SD cards I can get cheaply, but recommend minimum 8GB and class 10, here's an example of a good cheap option: amzn.to/2MHJkvb If you need recommendations for good compatible Pi hardware just leave a comment below.

There are two commands to run in the terminal. The most common that people are probably interested in is:

cat /etc/os-release

This will tell you what Raspbian version you are running, Raspbian 8 Jessie in my case.

If you want a bit more information, such as what linux kernel you are running, you can also try:

uname -a

This will give you your Linux kernel version, as well as some CPU information

How to Enable SSH on a Raspberry Pi 3

howtwos101 2017-10-11 | This video will show you how to enable SSH on a raspberry pi both graphically and through the terminal.

This was recorded on Raspbian 8 (Jessie) but should be applicable to most distributions (because I show the terminal version as well)

If you are going through the desktop, then just click on the start button in the top left, go down to preferences, and then Raspberry Pi Configuration. In the configuration window, choose the interfaces tab. Here, you can see radio buttons to enable or disable SSH. Just select enable and hit ok.

If you are going through the command line, open up the terminal, and use the command:

sudo raspi-config

This will bring you to a menu, where you need to arrow down to the interfaces option and hit enter. In the interfaces menu, the second option will be SSH. Just arrow to it and hit enter. In the screen that pops up, select yes and hit enter again. Then scroll to the bottom, hit the right arrow twice, and hit enter on finish. SSH is now enabled.

On a security note, if you are enabling SSH, please at the very least change your password. Don't leave it as the default pi/raspberry combination. It is a huge security hole.

How to assign a static IP Address in Windows 10

howtwos101 2017-10-09 | This video will show you how to assign a permanent IP address in Windows 10.

First, right click on your network connection in the bottom right, and then choose the Network and Sharing Center option.

In the window that pops up, choose the interface that you want to set a static IP address for. If you are connected to wireless and to Ethernet they will both show up, so make sure to choose the right connection.

In the next window choose properties, and then doubleclick the IPv4 option in the list. (You usually would not need to set a static IPv6 address, but if you do, select that one in the list)

Then choose the Use the following IP address radio button. This makes it so you can input an IP address instead of the computer getting it from the DHCP server.

If you know the IP address you need, just enter it and hit OK. If you need to set a static IP address to connect to a router for setup, or something along those lines then the instructions should tell you what address you need to use. If you are just trying to set the static IP address so you can connect to the device on the network and know the address, you will have to do a bit more sleuthing.

If you open command prompt, then type ipconfig it will tell you your current IP address. You will need to select and unused IP that is in the same subnet and is not in the DHCP range. You can log into the router to find the IP range for DHCP, but usually the start at 192.168.1.50 and go through 192.168.1.255. This would mean you can used the addresses 192.168.1.2-49 for static IP addresses, assuming your router is set to 192.168.1.1.

So just select an unused IP address that meets the requirements and type it into the box. It should then autofill the subnet mask, and then the default gateway would be your routers IP address. For DNS, you would usually use your router as the first one, and then 8.8.8.8 for the backup, which is Google's DNS.

How to copy text from a hyperlink in Windows

howtwos101 2017-10-07 | It can be pretty annoying copying text from a hyperlink on the internet, because generally you can only click on the link, or highlight the whole thing. This is especially bad when you are tring to copy a coupon code out of a link.

Luckily it's pretty easy to overcome. Just hold the ALT key as you are trying to highlight the text, and now instead of clicking or dragging around the link, it will highlight the text contained in the hyperlink.

How to Sell Stock on Robinhood using Market Limit Stop Loss Stop Limit Orders

howtwos101 2017-07-04 | This video explains the differences between the market, limit, stop loss, and stop limit orders on Robinhood. Using these correctly can help you limit your losses, and get the most profit on your sells.

The market limit is the default, and in my opinion the one you should use the least. This will sell the stock for whatever the most someone is willing to pay for it is. Unfortunately, the price can drop while you're selling it, so if you're selling 1000 shares, you could get the first 10 sold at a price that you like, but then the other 990 sell for much less.

The limit type sell is more predictable. The limit sell guarantees the price you sell the stock at, but not if it will sell. So you may only get the first 10 sold at the price you want out of 1000, and you will have to wait for the price to rise again for the rest to sell, but you at least know the price they will sell at.

The stop limit and stop loss orders are helpful in the event of a big swing in the price of the stock. For example, Rite-Aid stock recently lost a lot immediately when the merger between them and Walgreens fell through. The stop limit and stop loss would automatically sell the stock in this case if the share price falls to a certain level.

The difference between the two is the stop loss will trigger a market sell when the price is hit, when stop limit will trigger a limit sale. The limit sale is better in my opinion, as you never know how low and quickly a stock will drop in cases like the RAD merger. With a stop loss, the stock could sell for a much lower value than you wanted to, because it can happen that a stock drops way more because of panic selling than it should, and a few minutes rises back to a level you are comfortable selling at.

How to buy stocks on Robinhood with Market Limit Stop Loss and Stop Limit Orders

howtwos101 2017-07-03 | This video will show you how to purchase shares of stocks on Robinhood using the different methods they have available, Market, Limit, Stop Loss, and Stop Limit.

A market order guarantees the amount of stock you will buy, but not the price. You are basically saying, I want this amount of shares for whatever the lowest you'll sell them to me is. The issue is that this price could be above what you saw as the current price of the stock. Robinhood "collars" market purchases at 5%, so the most you will pay above the estimated is 5%, but this can still be worrisome. Especially if you want to buy 1000 shares for example, and only 10 get filled near the estimated price, and the other 990 are 5% higher. 5% is a pretty significant price difference and can amount to thousands of dollars. That's why the better method is to use a limit order.

A limit order guarantees the price you pay, but not if the order will be filled or not. So if the current price is 2.83, and you put in a limit order for 1000 shares at 2.83, then you may only get to purchase 10 of those shares at 2.83, and the other 990 go unfilled. This type of purchase can also be useful if you don't have time to sit around and watch the stock. If you set a limit .10 below the current price, and set it good till the end of the day, the purchase will only happen if the stock drops to that price.

The stop loss and stop limit orders are much less commonly used. They have a stop price, which triggers your order to be placed. The stop loss will set a market purchase when the stop price is hit. Again this can be dangerous because the market price can fluctuate. The stop limit will place a limit order after the stop price is hit, but the limit is not guaranteed to be filled, so the stock could jump right by your stop price and your limit price without being filled.

How to set up a Wordpress website with XAMPP on Windows 10

howtwos101 2017-05-27 | This video will show how to set up a local Wordpress website on Windows 10 using XAMPP.

XAMPP is a free software that includes many important options for hosting a website, including Apache and MySQL (now MariaDB). It can be downloaded from:

apachefriends.org/index.html

After downloading, just run the installer and make sure to leave the Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, and phpmyadmin options selected, and then leave everything else as default. You may want to change the default installation path from C: xampp to something else, but it is suggested that you avoid installing to the program files folder to avoid UAC (User Account Control) triggers.

Once it's installed, open the control panel and start the Apache and MySQL services. You can now see an active webserver at localhost, or the IP Address 127.0.0.1 (local IP Address).

Now you will need to download Wordpress itself. You can download a zip of the newest version at:

http://www.wordpress.org

Once it is downloaded, right click and extract all. Then copy the Wordpress folder, and paste into the XAMPP installation, in the htdocs folder. This folder is what is served up to the web browser. So by default it brings you to the dashboard folder. To access Wordpress after you paste it into the folder, in your web browser go to http://localhost/wordpress Feel free to change the name of the wordpress folder to access it at a different address.

Now it will ask for a database, database username, and database password. This is something you will need to create in phpmyadmin. To do this, head to http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Once here, click on the new option on the left to create a new database. Give it a relevant name, something different preferably than just wordpress. Then choose the Collation, which is utf8_general_ci

After the database is created, click on it on the left and choose the privileges tab. Here you can create a user that has privileges to add data to the database, which is how Wordpress will access the database and store data.

Again it is recommended to choose a relevant username here, and a strong password. The hostname should also be changed to localhost, as this is a local install. Then hit the go button at the bottom.

If you get an error stating Show Plugins soname like '%_password_check%' then it's easy to fix. Just go to your xampp folder, and then the mysql folder inside. Here, right click and create a new folder, and name it lib. Then go in the newly created lib folder and create another folder, called plugin. You should now be able to create a new user just fine.

Once the user is created, go to http://localhost/wordpress and input the new database you created, and the user info.

The next information Wordpress will ask for is the site title, and a user to login to Wordpress. I would suggest something different than just administrator, and to use a strong password. At this point your wordpress installation is ready to use.

How to find what font a website is using

howtwos101 2017-05-22 | Curious what font is being used on that website you like? Want to find out how it would look on yours? Luckily it's pretty simple to check for not only the font, but also weight and if it's bold, italic, etc.

The website to use is: http://fount.artequalswork.com

The button that they give you is just a section of javascript that makes it so you can click on any font and find out what it is.

There are two ways to run the javascript. First, you can just drag the button into your bookmarks, and then go to the website you want to check fonts on, and then click the bookmark you made.

The other option is to use the developer console. To open in Chrome, it's ctrl+shift+i. Here there is an option that says console at the top. Just click on that option. Then right click on the fount button on their website, and choose the copy link option. Then paste that into the developer console where you want to check fonts, hit enter, and you're good to go.

If you want to see if those fonts are available for download, head over to http://fonts.google.com and use the search function to find the font that you selected. Many fonts are available to download for free.

How to Install a Web Server on Windows 10

howtwos101 2017-05-19 | This tutorial will show you how to set up a web server in Windows 10. The same steps in the video work for it to be an internet accessible from the internet, as long as you have a public IP Address or port forwarding set up, just bear in mind that there are additional security risks from making your computer accessible on the internet.

The software to run the web server is an open source software XAMPP. it can be downloaded from apachefriends.org/index.html

Once downloaded, run the installer. It will usually give you a prompt if you have UAC (user account control) turned on, which is a good thing. It essentially is suggesting that you shouldn't install XAMPP in the program files folder. If you leave the folder selection later as default, then this won't be a problem.

The next prompt will ask you which packages you want to install. I would suggest at the minimum installing Apache and MySQL. You can also install Filezilla, Mercury and Tomcat, but unless you have a reason for needing them, they would just take up extra space.

After the install is finished, you can leave the box selected to open the control panel and hit finish. When the control panel pops up, hit the Start button next to Apache. This starts the web service.

If you get some red text with an error, this is usually due to another application using the same ports as Apache. Leave a comment if you get the error and I will help you out.

After Apache is started, go to your web browser and type in localhost in the URL bar. This will bring you to the web server on your machine.

To edit what shows up here, you need to go to the folder where XAMPP is installed, and go to the htdocs folder. There will be an index.php file there that controls what shows up. By default this is the index.html file in the dashboard folder.

I will be posting a tutorial soon on how to use XAMPP to host a local Wordpress installation.

How to Find if Amazon Product has Fake Reviews

howtwos101 2017-01-06 | This video will show you how to spot fake reviews on Amazon, for any product.

The site used is http://www.fakespot.com

To check if the reviews are genuine, find any product on Amazon. Go to the product page, and then copy the URL (the whole web address at the top). Then paste this into the bar at the homepage of fakespot.

Then, fakespot will give you a bunch of information on the quality of the product reviews. Basically, if the product has an A, you should be good to go. If it has a B, C, or D, you should do some more research. If it has an F, you almost definitely want to steer clear, but if it's a product you really want, do some more research. This is because the reviews may be fake, but that doesn't mean the product is terrible, just that there is probably one out there that is better for the same or lower price.

How to record microphone in Open Broadcast Studio

howtwos101 2016-08-03 | This video will show you how to enable a microphone for recording in Open Broadcast Studio. By default, it should choose your microphone in the Mic/Aux option, and you will see the green bar bouncing around. If you do not, then you may need to do a little more work.

The first thing to try is click the gear to the right of the Mic/Aux option, and choose Properties.

In the window that pops up, there will be a dropdown menu where you can select your microphone. If you have multiple microphones, all of them should should show up in the list.

If it is not showing up there, you may need to add an Audio Input Capture. Do this by right clicking in the sources window, and choosing Audio Input Capture, then hit next, and then you should have a dropdown to choose your microphone. If this list also doesn't have your microphone, then it's likely the Windows OS itself isn't seeing it.

To check this, right click on the sound icon in the bottom right, and choose recording devices. If you audio device doesn't show up here, then the problem is Windows. Also, if it is disabled, you will need to enable it, or check if the microphone itself is having problems.

Lastly, you may want to check the device manager. The top option, Audio Inputs and Outputs, should have your microphone. If it doesn't then you should also check if there is a yellow question mark farther down. If there is, it may mean that your microphone is missing a driver.

How to find where short link leads without clicking on it (bit.ly goo.gl etc)

howtwos101 2016-07-27 | This video will show you how to find where a short link (such as a bit.ly link, or goo.gl link) will lead you, without having to go to the page it links to.

Short links can be really useful, as they can make links short, but they can also be used for evil, by disguising where the link leads. Many scammers use this by making a link seem like it goes somewhere you would want to go, and then bringing you to an advertisement page, or potentially virus/malware/phishing etc page.

Luckily, it is very easy to find where the link will take you too, as well as some cool statistics for the link (amount of clicks and timeline) without having to go to the page. Then, once you've decided it's safe, you can go to where it was pointing you.

Basically, just copy the short link, paste it into the url bar, and then add a + to the end of it. This works for almost all short link generators, and definitely all the reputable ones.

Pewdiepie's video that I mentioned in this video can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=RCy281yQui4

Basically, he was mostly giving Youtube flak for their poor commenting system, but he briefly mentions the short link issue. It is a big deal, because these spam comments exist because the people posting them are making money off of them. If people stopped clicking them, then the spammers would cease to make money, and then would stop posting spam, because they wouldn't have a reason to. This would definitely help make the Youtube comments a better place.

So, don't click short links, unless you know where they go, or they are from someone you trust. Report/dislike any comments you find that have spam short links.

How to start Windows 10 in Safe Mode

howtwos101 2016-07-24 | Getting to safe mode in Windows 10 is easy, but slightly different than previous versions of Windows. This is mostly due to how fast Windows 10 boots, so it's too fast for the normal f8 or shift+f8 method of getting into safe mode. This is especially true with the new UEFI, and the incredible speed of solid state hard drives.

There are a few easy ways to do this, depending on if your operating system can boot or not. If you can get to the Windows desktop, you can set it to boot from safe mode easily there, otherwise you will have to use the advanced startup options in the boot repair, and if it is not booting to even this point (although then it likely won't even be able to get to safe mode) you may have to use external boot media to force it to boot to safe mode.

So if your system does boot, the easiest way to set your pc to boot to safe mode is to go into the system configuration options. To get there, either search for System Configuration, or go to the start menu, choose All apps, scroll all the way to the bottom, open the Windows Administration Tools folder, and choose the System Configuration option.

In the window that pops up, choose the boot tab at the top. As long as you aren't doing any fancy dual booting or anything, it will look like the image below. If you do have more options, make sure you select your operating system before changing the boot options. In the window, just choose the Safe Boot option, and then if you need internet in safe mode, choose the network radio button at the bottom. The alternate shell and Active Directory repair options would be for more advanced users in specific situations.

Once you have done this and hit ok, it will ask you if you want to reboot immediately into safe mode, or just safe and reboot later, but at this point, after you restart the computer it will boot into safe mode instead of normal Windows 10.

Once, you are in safe mode and have completed what you needed safe mode for, simply go back into the system configuration with the same steps as before, and deselect the safe boot check box. Then the next time you boot, it will be into normal mode.

If your computer won't boot, you can still set it to boot into safe mode, as long as you are getting startup repair on boot (this should happen if Windows 10 fails to boot more than once in a row). At the window just select See advanced repair options.

This will bring you to the next screen, asking you to choose an option. Here choose Troubleshoot.

Then at the next screen choose Advanced Options

Finally, you have the option here for startup options (I have no idea why they make this so many steps)

Here hit restart, and then on the next boot it will give you the option to boot into safe mode.

Finally, you can choose the option you want for safe mode. Just hit the function key for the start option you want (F1 for Enable Debugging, F2 for Boot Logging, F3 for Low Resolution Video, F4 for normal safe mode, F5 for safe mode with internet, F6 for Safe Mode command prompt, F7 to disable Driver Signature enforcement which can temporarily fix some Windows 10 driver problems, F8 to disable early malware detection, and F9 to disable automatic restart for Windows 10)

How to Edit Videos on Windows 10 Using Davinci Resolve

howtwos101 2016-06-19 | This video will show you how to edit videos on windows 10 for free using Davinci Resolve. In the video, I go through basic steps for installing Davinci Resolve, importing videos, editing them, and then outputting to a new file.

First, you can download the software from: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve

Next, extract it by right clicking on the downloaded zip, and hitting choosing extract all. Then in the extracted folder, double click the executable and install with all the defaults.

After this, open Resolve. It will first ask what project you want to work on. Just hit create at the bottom, give it any name you want, then double click on the created project to start working on it.

First, you will need to import the video files you want to work on. Just navigate to the folder holding the videos from the file tree in the top left, and when you click on the folder containing the videos, they will pop up in the top beside the viewing window. Right click on the ones you want to edit, and choose add to media pool.

Next, click the edit tab at the bottom. Here you can drag the videos onto the timeline at the bottom, in the order you want, and linking them together so there are no gaps between the clips. You could now just output the video if you wanted and all of the clips would be made into one file. In the video I show editing together a .MOV file and a .MP4.

WHen you are finished editing, go to the deliver tab at the bottom, and change the settings on the left to match what you want the output file to be. (Set quality, output resolution, and file name)

When done, hit add to render queue at the bottom, and then hit start render on the right.

How to Test your Internet Speed on Windows 10

howtwos101 2016-06-16 | This video will show you how to check your internet speed using a few different methods.

The first is http://www.speedtest.net which when you run it will give you your ping, upload speed, and download speed.

You ping is time between communications, so it is important for this to be low to play video games reliable, especially first person shooters. if your ping is too high (more than 40 ms or so) you will start to notice lag and your character jumping around.

Your download speed is in Megabits per second, which is what your ISP is selling you. So you can match this number up with what they are supposed to be giving you.

The upload speed is usually lower than your download speed, because most people use less upload than download (download would be important for Netflix, while upload would be important for running a webserver or uploading files to google drive)

The second option, http://www.fast.com is a speed testing website set up by Netflix. They set this up because they felt a lot of people weren't getting accurate results from speedtest.net, so wanted people to have a second option. This site will only show you your internet download speed though.

The last option is downloading the Ubuntu operating system. Basically, you can use P2P transferring to max out your internet connection this way, for a sustained amount of time. This gives you a really good number for your internet speed, because you can see how it behaves over the full download, and get an average speed number. Just make sure to multiply the download speed here by 8, because it gives you the number as Megabytes, rather than Megabits (A byte is 8 bits)

The downloader can be found at http://www.ninite.com and the Ubuntu image is at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
