How To Install The LCD Driver: Method1: Online Installation

This document provides instructions for installing LCD display drivers on a Raspberry Pi through either an online or offline method. The online method involves downloading the latest Raspbian image, connecting the Pi to the internet, and using git to clone the driver files from an online repository. The offline method is similar but obtains the driver files from an installation CD instead of online. Both methods then require executing the appropriate driver file based on the LCD display model to complete installation.
