What is SetupHelfer?
A desktop app for Raspberry Pi and Linux PCs plus this website with tutorials, projects, docs and troubleshooting.
Is it the same as Raspberry Pi OS?
No. Raspberry Pi OS is the operating system. SetupHelfer is an additional app and learning structure. Install the OS first: OS install tutorial.
Where is the current release?
Download links to GitHub Releases — pick the package for Pi or PC.
Boot or power issues?
Check PSU and storage first. Pi won’t boot
Do I need Docker?
Only if your target stack uses containers. Docker basics
Setup, configuration, diagnostics and recovery
Use the desktop app on the device for setup flows and diagnostics. Configuration files for the app live on that machine (paths depend on install mode — see docs and changelog). For recovery after a bad change, prefer a known-good backup, then work through troubleshooting by symptom.
