HOW TO INSTALL RASPBIAN OS IN YOUR RASPBERRY PI
Step 1: Download the Raspbian Software and Files
Step 2: Get the SD Card and the Card Reader
Get a minimum 8GB class 10 SD card with a card reader. Insert that card into
the card reader and plug that to the USB port.
Step 3: Check the Drive in Which the SD Card Is Mounted
Go to my computer or My PC and find the drive name where the SD card
is mounted.
Step 4: Write the OS on the SD Card
Copy the contents downloaded to the SD drive.
Step 5: Eject the SD Card
Now OS ispresent in SD Card.
Step 6: First boot: OS will be installed in Raspberry Pi
1. Plug in your keyboard, mouse, and monitor cables.
2. Now plug the USB power cable into your Raspberry Pi.
3. Your Raspberry Pi will boot, and a window will appear with a list of
different operating systems that you can install. We recommend that you
use Raspbian – tick the box next to Raspbian and click on Install.
4. Raspbian will then run through its installation process. Note that this can
take a while.
5. When the install process has completed, the Raspberry Pi configuration
menu (raspi-config) will load. Here you are able to set the time and date
for your region, enable a Raspberry Pi camera board, or even create users.
You can exit this menu by using Tab on your keyboard to move
to Finish.
The default login for Raspbian is username pi with the
password raspberry.
A simple method to use your laptop as a Raspberry Pi display
We would be using the VNC server software to connect the pi to your laptop.
Installing the VNC server on your pi allows you to see the raspberry pi’s
desktop remotely, using the mouse and keyboard as if you were sitting right in
front of your pi.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Raspberry Pi
Connect raspberry pi to the laptop via an ethernet cable.
Step 2: Sharing Internet Over Ethernet
This step explains how you can share your laptop internet with the raspberry pi
via Ethernet [Link] Windows : For sharing internet to multiple users over
Ethernet, go to Network and Sharing Center. Then click on the WiFi network:
Click on Properties (shown below), then go to Sharing and click on “Allow
other network users to connect”. Make sure that networking connection is
changed to “Local Area Connection”:
Step 3: Setting Up the VNC Server to Connect Raspberry Pi to Laptop
Display
If you have an HDMI display: Using the connected HDMI display with pi,
install VNC server in raspberry pi. Open the LX-Terminal and type the
following commands to install VNC:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
Step 4: Setting Up the Client Side (Laptop)
Download VNC client and install [Link] you first run VNC viewer.
Enter IP address of raspberry pi given dynamically by your laptop
How to SSH into Raspberry Pi
Step 1: Enable SSH on Raspberry Pi
SSH is disabled by default in Raspberry Pi, hence you’ll have to enable it when
you turn on the Pi after a fresh installation of Raspbian.
First go to the Raspberry Pi configuration window by navigating through the
menu.
Now, go to the interfaces tab, enable SSH and restart your Pi.
You can also enable SSH via the terminal. Just enter the command sudoraspi-
config
Step 2. Find the IP Address of Raspberry Pi
In most cases your Raspberry Pi will be assigned a local IP address which looks
like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x. You can use various Linux commands to find the
IP address.
This command shows all the list of active network adapters and their
configuration. The first entry(eth0) shows IP address as [Link] which is
valid.
Step 3. SSH into your Raspberry Pi
Now SSH enabled and found out IP address of Raspberry Pi, you can connect
Raspberry Pi from any other computer. You’ll also need the username and the
password for the Raspberry Pi.
Default Username and Password is:
username: pi
password: raspberry
