Wizard

After the booting of Raspbian you will see a basic wizard appearing.

It will ask for basic information such as:

  • Locale and keyboard
  • user
  • password
  • Wifi
  • Update to the latest software. This process might take a while.

After the update you will be prompted to restart the Pi.

After reboot the Pi will enter into the default Raspbian screen.

Enable SSH

Click the Pi icon (top left). Go to Preferences/Raspberry Pi Configuration.

Select the Interface tab. Here you can enable SSH.

Next you need to find your ip address by opening a terminal vis the top menu.

Run:

ifconfig

Open a terminal or a Command Prompt (Windows).

ssh pi@<your ip>
The authenticity of host '<your ip> (<your ip>)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:q5XT7OvjJI1kaaomKyss2kom60cJ1tIUZdKOZHq5YXQ.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added '<your ip>' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
pi@<your ip>'s password:

Remote Desktop

We want to access our Pi via a remote desktop session on the PC. The first install we will do is to install xrdp.

To install any software we will need to open the terminal found in the upper task bar.sudo adduser

Now install the RDP software

sudo apt install xrdp -y
sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert

The only thing we need now is the ip address of our Pi and then we will be able to connect via our PC.

ifconfig
