Thank you bpr. I think I got it installed, but I did have to to sudo apt-get upgrade to get a couple libraries. Although I have Ubuntu on a machine and now the RPI, I am still pretty uncertain with Linux. I can’t figure out how to make putty run. I have tried using the “Run” in the pull down and get "Failed to execute child process “putty” (No such file or directory)" I tried locating putty with "dpkg -S putty | grep -E “(bin/)?putty$” and running it from there using “sudo” and get command not found
In addition, I am still not clear on how I get a USB port recognized/connected.
I don’t expect a Linux/Raspbian tutorial here, but would really appreciate a pointer to some useful information. I have done a few hours of searching and reading and most of what I find on PuTTY && Raspberry Pi is using it on a Windows machine to SSH to the RPI. I have a stand-alone RPI with keyboard, mouse and monitor and am trying to use it to connect to my Photon.
Thanks,
