Step-by-Step Instructions

Using the Raspberry Pi Imager, install Raspbian Lite onto the SD card.

Insert the SD card into the Pi, and plug it in. Sign in using the default credentials. Once you are signed in and connected to the internet via ethernet, enter the following command: bash <(curl -sL https://parcel.makerspace.cc) -r 22-034-ShopControl -a CC-IS

The installation process will take around ten minutes. While it is installing, go to Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager) and create a new project. Within that project, create a service account as an editor.
