# Setting up Raspberry Pi camera
###### tags: `documentation`

From https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/getting-started-with-picamera/4

1. Make sure cable is the right way around: blue side should be towards the earphone jack on the RPi board.
2. In the GUI, open the Raspberry Pi Configuration Tool from the main menu
3. Ensure the camera software is enabled, if it is not enabled, enable it and restart the Pi.

You should now be able to use the camera app, Python, or JavaScript to access the camera module.
