First boot into command line.

julian2000P

Pi Model: pi 3
Retropie version: 4.1
Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
Usb Devices: only keyboard
no error messages

I already found a similar problem in the forum, where the command line pops up during the first boot.But if I type in 'emulation station' nothing happens, except that another command line pops up.
I hope someone can help me, ask if you need additional information.

@julian2000P Don't put a space. emulationstation All one word.

julian2000P

my mistake it should be emulationstation, I have used it correct on my pi

columboscoat

@julian2000P Try this https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/README.md

julian2000P

I will have a look, but that's my first pi and I'm still a beginner

columboscoat

@julian2000P Just type each command and enter. When the script runs you will get a grey box on a blue background. Choose basic install.

julian2000P

I typed in these three commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install git lsb-release

should I also type in these?:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

columboscoat

@julian2000P yes. They are 2 separate commands.

columboscoat

Just do and type exactly what the guide says.

julian2000P

I typed in all five commands but nothing happened.

columboscoat

@julian2000P Nothing at all. No errors or command not found or bash errors. Literally nothing?

julian2000P

after typing in 'sudo apt-get update' some errors occurred

@julian2000P Have you downloaded the correct image? i.e. Not the first one for Pi 0 and 1?

columboscoat

I'm sorry. You need to be more specific if you want help. I can't drag the information from you. Anyway, good luck. Perhaps someone else with more time and patience will offer assistance.

julian2000P

I downloaded it for pi 2/3

@julian2000P said in First boot into command line.:

What errors?

julian2000P

@columboscoat thank you anyway

julian2000P

at the end it says
some index files failed to download. they have been ignored, or old ones used instead

rbaker

@julian2000P What is your power supply?

julian2000P

I don't know the brand, but it has a 5 V output and 750mA
