Operating System
Load the SD Card with Raspbian following these instructions
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/mac.md
drop a file called "ssh" into the boot folder
connect using airport express
setup wifi using command-line (plenty of explanations on google)
Install stuff
sudo apt-get update
(that may avoid problems later with that missing line in the v8.h header file)
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install mongodb
Set up samba so you can browse the folders from the mac
sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
in the [home] section
read only = no
browsable = yes
sudo smbpasswd -a pi
$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop
$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba start
