Install latest minimum 64bit raspios version.
At time of this document:
https://downloads.raspberrypi.com/raspios_lite_arm64/images/raspios_lite_arm64-2024-07-04/2024-07-04-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img.xz

install and boot to use full disk space.
It will ask for username & password.

Use parted on different computer to repartion drive to liking (i used 64Gb for OS, test for "data" partition)

enable ssh by login in and use "raspi-config" to enable ssh

rest can be done remotely over ssh

login as user with ssh
I configured /etc/apt/apt.conf since I run alocal apt-cacher-ng, see at end of this document

--------------------------------


--------------------------------

As user continue with:

sudo apt install git curl 

Taken from https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-installer

sh -c "curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-installer/main/installer.sh -o installer.sh && chmod +x installer.sh && sudo ./installer.sh && rm installer.sh"



-------------------

neon-cli  <- to see and type commands

:skills  <- to see in neon-cli what skills are installed. RED are disabled
---------------
there is a user config file starts off mostly empty. 
It overrides anything in the other configs.


add skills to be blacklisted
add to config file at
~neon/.config/neon/neon.yaml

If you’re curious what those defaults are
cat /etc/neon/neon.yam
I don’t recommend editing that file because updates will override it. Copy relevant sections to your user config then make changes there [mike]
------------------
#to restart neon service:
sudo systemctl restart neon

#get status update:
sudo systemctl status neon-\*

#latest version available:
https://github.com/NeonGeckoCom/NeonCore/releases

#check current version:

cat /opt/neon/build_info.json 


---------------------

#update   #*************UPDATE***************
sudo systemctl start neon-updater
**UPDATE**
This will start an update, but maybe not to the version you'd expect. sudo /opt/neon/update master will update to the latest stable version
and sudo /opt/neon/update dev will update to the latest alpha version.

ovos-raspbian has no GUI either, would be a better comparison with classic picroft - jarbas

multiple usb boot devices:
If you have 2 plugged in, the one in "port 0" (noted in the docs, it's the top port towards the center of the Mark 2) will be booted
