Changing the time zone on a debian based system is fairly simple.
#To check your current timezone: run ''date'' which should return something like ''Mon May 13 00:58:26 UTC 2019'' showing that the current timezone is set to ''UTC''
#To change the system timezone: run ''timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York''
*change ''America/New_York'' to a location relevant to your physical location using the "TZ database name" in this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones table]
#To check your new current timezone: run ''date'' which should return something like ''Sun May 12 21:00:13 EDT 2019'' showing that the current timezone is now set to ''EDT''
