via your router setup page - if you have a modern router like eero then this is super easy.You now need to find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi so you can connect to it.
Step 5: Find the IP Address of Your Raspberry Pi Plug your Raspberry Pi into power via the USB cable. Put the SD card you just created into your Raspberry Pi. (If you're having issues creating these files then you can download ready made versions here: )
(Note that the SSID and password need to be inside quotes in the file) Insert the below text into the file: country=gb update_config=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network=Ĭhange the country as appropriate (gb is the UK, us is the US, de is Germany, etc)Ĭhange the wifi credentials in there to be your actual wifi router details. (Although you might want to think hard about that decision - having it run over wifi makes life a lot easier in terms of positioning this - and note that if you subsequently change your mind and want to run it on wifi then your IP address will change)Ĭreate a plain text file called wpa_nf in the root directory of the SD card. You can skip this step if you plan to wire your Raspberry Pi to your router by ethernet. The file itself doesn't need to contain any content - just its existence will enable SSH when the Pi boots up. It's important that this doesn't have any sort of extension (eg.txt). We can do this by creating an empty file called: However, for security reasons SSH is disabled by default. We want to access the Raspberry Pi without plugging in a keyboard or monitor (aka "headless"), which we can do over our local network using our PC or Mac over a protocol called SSH. Once the OS has been written to the SD card, there are a few additional tasks you need to do. Step 2: Enable SSH on Your Raspberry Pi OS Image But then plug it back in as there's a few points of housekeeping you need to do first. Once it's done it will tell you to remove the SD card, which you should do.
Insert the SD card you want to install the Raspberry Pi operating system on.Ĭlick on CHOOSE OS and select the default Raspberry Pi OS (note: this used to be called Raspbian, which is what you see in the image above - it is now called Raspberry Pi OS, which is the same thing, just a different name).Ĭlick on CHOOSE SD CARD and select the SD card you have plugged in.
On your PC or Mac, download and run the Raspberry PI imager application.
