Setting Up Raspbian OS

There are two possible ways for the initial setup:

1. Booting the Pi with the help of a monitor and keyboard:

For the first setup, you can connect a USB keyboard as well as an HDMI monitor to the Raspberry Pi.

• The Raspberry Pi Operating system desktop will show up after a little while.

• Welcome to the Raspberry Pi program will appear when you turn on your Raspberry Pi computer for the very first time and will walk you through the initial setup.

• In order to begin the setup, click Next.
• Set your time zone, language, and country, then click Next once again.

• Click Next after entering a new password and username for your Raspberry Pi.

• Make sure your screen is configured so that the Desktop takes up the entire display.

• By choosing the name of your wireless network, providing the password, then clicking Next, you can connect to it.

• Click Next to allow the wizard to look for and install any updates to the Raspberry Pi OS.

• When the Pi first starts up, “raspi-config” is immediately launched. To setup the device after the initial boot, you must execute “sudo raspi-config” manually.
• To complete the configuration, click Restart.

2. Booting the Pi using SSH(Secure Shell):

Raspbian is being installed without a display, mouse, or keyboard. SSH is the only way we can interact with the Raspbian OS, which is currently installed on the microSD. 

• To allow SSH on boot, you must create an empty document named “ssh” and place it in the microSD.
• Connect your Raspberry Pi with your router using an Ethernet cable (RJ-45), then connect and turn on your power source.
• To get the Raspberry Pi’s local IP address, access the admin page of your router and scroll through the list of connected devices.
• Once you know the device’s IP address, use Putty to connect to it.
• Get putty from this link: https://www.putty.org/

The Raspberry Pi is a small, inexpensive computer that is of the size of a credit card that connects to a computer monitor or TV and operates with a regular keyboard and mouse. With the help of this competent small gadget, individuals of all ages may learn about computing and how to program in languages like Scratch and Python.
It can be used to set up your own server at a minimal cost. It has all the features of a desktop computer, including the ability to play high-definition video, browse the internet, create spreadsheets, word documents, and play games.

What you’ll have to create a Linux server using a Raspberry Pi is listed below:

• Raspberry Pi
• Ethernet Cable
• A microSD card (minimum 8GB storage capacity)
