For us to connect, it is necessary to know it. Like any computer, the Raspberry Pi is identified on the network by its IP address. Otherwise, it is possible to connect a USB keyboard and connect the Raspberry Pi to a monitor using its HDMI port.

Users of macOS or Linux can directly launch ssh, while those of Windows prefer to use a program like PuTTY. We will access our Raspberry Pi from our computer, using SSH. Connect it to our network, and then put it on. We can then eject the SD card and insert it into your Raspberry Pi.

Warning, the entire contents of the SD card will be lost! For this, we enter the following commands (where /dev/disk2 (on macOS, we use rdisk2 instead of disk2 in order to make the copy faster) is the path to the SD card): diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 On macOS, you can use in the terminal the following command to get the ID of your SD card ( /dev/disk2 in the following example): diskutil list It is necessary for us to know the path to the SD card. To do this, insert into our computer the SD card that will host the system. We will write the previously downloaded image to the SD card. Download it, and then extract it: curl -OL

We will see how to install and configure Arch Linux on our Raspberry Pi, directly from the command line by the network, which means that we will have no need of keyboard or screen. Whatever your goal, it is necessary to install a Linux distribution. Is it still necessary to present it? The Raspberry Pi is a nano-computer which, due to its small size, low power consumption and very low cost (about 35 € in its most powerful version, to which must be added an SD card, μUSB and ethernet cables, less than € 50 in total), makes an essential personal server or hack tool.ĭespite its limited computing power, it is perfectly possible to make a web server, a personal cloud, a NAS, an Airplay terminal, a retro games console… or all at once.
