    Trying to figure out how to install Colemak on Raspberry Pi using Raspian image

    So far I have this. Some bits may be not be needed, thats why I am here. Definitely a noob at Raspberry Pi, and linux in general

    Boot and get on Internet
    Open LX Terminal
    download Colemak from Colemak site
          wget https://colemak.com/pub/unix/colemak-1.0.tar.gz

    Decompress and then unTar
          gzip -d colemak-1.0.tar.gz
          tar -xf colemak-1.0.tar

    You should now have:
    pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ls
    colemak-1.0  colemak-1.0.tar  Desktop  python_games

    Copy file
          sudo cp colemak-1.0/xorg/colemak /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/colemak

    Change layout to Colemak
          setxkbmap -v colemak



    Unfortunately this does not survive reboots. Please help

    noting that after a reboot you just need to run change layout command again
    setxkbmap -v colemak
