- Dowload the Raspbian Jessie image you want to use. At the time of writing you can choose the default image which comes with the Pixel desktop, or the Lite version if you don't need a desktop.
- On Windows, use Win32DiskImager to flash the image onto the RaspberryPi microSD card. Make sure you select the correct drive before pressing the
write
button. - Start your RaspberryPi and use nmap to discover its IP (on Windows you can use Zenmap)
nmap -sn <ip-of-your-local-router>/24
, e.g.nmap -sn 192.168.0.1/24
- Login to your RaspberryPi via ssh with the Raspbian default user
pi
and default passwordraspberry
. On Windows you can use PuTTY.
On Raspbian Jessie with Pixel, the SSH server was somehow disabled by default. If you have a screen and a keyboard do:
sudo raspi-config
Go to 5 Interfacing Options
and enable SSH.
