Raspberry Pi: Fixing your Locale

Fixing your Locale on Raspberry Pi

After a fresh install of Raspbian you will likely see the following error:

    bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

You can fix your locale with a few simple updates.

  1. Edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the line with en_US.UTF-8
  2. Run locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
  3. Run update-locale en_US.UTF-8
