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 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
