I recommend at least a 16GB Micro SD Card ( check my recommendations here). You now have an image to flash on your SD card.
Once ready, click on “Download” and wait a few seconds Flash it on a SD card. Computer Kit Original – Pi1: An older version for Raspberry Pi 1. Computer Kit 2015 – Pi2: For Raspberry Pi 2 (Jessie). Computer Kit Complete – Pi3: For Raspberry Pi 3 (Stretch), doesn’t include NOOBS – I tried with this one. Computer Kit Touch – Pi3: For Raspberry Pi 3 (Stretch), includes NOOBS, I think. Here you have a list of version available. Let’s see now how to install it on your Raspberry Pi (3 and before) Download Kano OSĪs we have seen, Kano OS is not the main product available on the official website, so you have to search a bit before finding it. That’s why, it will not work on Raspberry Pi 4 for the moment, you need to have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ or older to run it. I don’t know if there have plans to get back to it with the Raspberry Pi 4, but for now, the system is still on Raspbian Stretch. Raspberry Pi compatibilityĪs I told you, the latest developments are not really made for Raspberry Pi. I’ll explain everything in the installation part, but if you have kids that are interested in screens, it’s the perfect operating system for you. The system is based on Raspbian Stretch, and has a wonderful interface for children: Our main goal today is to take a look at their operating system, that is very interesting, whatever you are using their computer kit or not. It has been replaced by this Microsoft product.Įven if the goal is the same, I’m not sure you’ll like this information 🙂 Operating system 
Here is a picture of the latest one, released in summer 2020:Īnyway, you can still find the Kano Computer Kit, based on Raspberry Pi 3, on Amazon ( link here), but it’s no longer available on the official store. Sadly, their last products are not running on Raspberry Pi, so we don’t know how much time it will be available for us. Today, their main focus is still on creating new products, improving the operating system and developing new apps. They also developed a specific operating system for this kit, based on Raspbian, that can be easier to understand for younger users. The idea was to allow anyone to build their computer, based on Raspberry Pi, to make technology more accessible and understandable. They got a help of $1,522,160 at the end of the campaign, that helped them to get started with their first product (the Kano Computer Kit). Kano is an American company, created in 2013 after a successful campaign on Kickstarter.
