==== Khadas simple setup ====

Its will be just two steps

=== Copy and Prepare ===

''. /media/*/alpine-setup-copy.sh''

=== Complete setup ===

if we use Wi-Fi ''alpine-setup-wifi.sh'' or ''alpine-setup-lan.sh'' if LAN connection preferred or ''alpine-setup-offline.sh'' if we stay offline

Minimal simple setup is done, we can reboot and use Alpine linux, if we prefer much more custom setup please check next common options ... [[#khadas-scripts|khadas special scripts]] or [[#alpine-common-way|common alpine way]]


==== Alpine common way ====

https://docs.alpinelinux.org/

=== WiFi ===

```sh setup wi-fi
apk add --quiet --no-progress iw wpa_supplicant
mkdir -p /etc/wpa_supplicant
wpa_passphrase WIFI_SSID WIFI_PASSWORD > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_suppl
icant.conf
rc-update --quiet add wpa_supplicant boot
rc-service wpa_supplicant restart
udhcpc -i wlan0
```
