Background

Before we can start with the installation of the raspberry pi OS, we must make sure to have all the appropriate programs, command line tools, and resources access. The following is needed to setup a headless raspberry pi.

Requirements

  1. Raspberry Pi Imager

To flash our micro SD card with the Raspberry Pi OS, please use the Raspberry Pi Foundations Raspberry Pi Imager.

  1. SSH Client or SSH Command Line tool

If you do not prefer to use command line to SSH into the raspberry pi, please install an SSH client like putty.

If you prefer to use the command line tool, please go right head.

  1. Router Device Access

Router page access is necessary to find what ip your raspberry pi was given. The ip is important for SSHing. If connecting directly via ethernet, it is not necessary to use a router, as the PC can serve as a DHCP server for the client RPI.
