OS Setup
Once you have an SD Card with the Raspberry Pi OS, you can setup the operating system as follows:
- Insert the card into your Raspberry Pi. Connect the USB Power cable.
- Enable
ssh
when the OS boots. You'll likely see the Pi reboot itself after the first startup. - Ensure you are connected to ethernet or configure your Pi to connect to your WiFi network.
ssh
to your Pi, and update to the latest packages:pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
- Change the hostname of your Raspberry Pi. I'm using
raspberrypi-time
. You can do this usingraspi-config
from yourssh
console.$ sudo raspi-config
See: Change Hostname for more details.
- Reboot your Raspberry Pi and reconnect to it via
ssh
.
