Installing software and configuring raspberry pi

** Installing Software and Configuring Raspberry Pi **

You need a memory card with at least 8GB capacity for this installation. Follow the instructions here on this page .

Note You need 'Raspbian Buster Lite' version. Download Here

After burning the OS on the Micro SD card, you should create three text files

1. wpa_supplicant.conf - wifi settings
2. config.txt - global system settings
3. ssh - an empty text file to enable ssh

The details for creating those files can be found here.

Note: Use the 2G wifi settings from the lab for wpa_supplicant.conf

After everything is done ssh to your raspberry pi.

ssh pi@192.168.x.xxx

password: raspberry (default)
