First steps after installing the Raspberry Pi OS (Lite)

# Connect to your system remotely (SSH) This guide will cover how to connect to a Raspberry Pi OS Lite remotely after first boot. ## Requirement - SSH software (Only Windows) Example: putty - IP scanner (Only Windows) Example: Angry IP scanner, FING In this guide <> is used to indicate when you need to enter your values that you entered in Raspberry Pi Imager. When you created the Raspberry Pi OS Lite SD card (I assume that you use Raspberry Pi Imager) you also configure a hostname and a user and password. Be sure to enable SSH Service in Raspberry Pi Imager. See https://discord.com/channels/818384379197784084/1193923435789824050 ## Step one Open a "Command Prompt" or "Terminal" on your computer and type ping <hostname of your Pi>. Windows: If you get a reply, open a SSH client (putty or similar) and start a new session of the type SSH and as IP/Host name type in the name you gave your Raspberry Pi and press enter. Linux/MAC: Open a terminal and type ssh <Pi username>@<hostname of your Pi>. ## If step one fails. If you fail to ping your Raspberry Pi there are two choices: 1. Check your router and check for DHCP leases and see if your Raspberry Pi appears in that table. 2. Install a IP scanner and scan your network for your Raspberry Pi ## If above also fails If that doesn't work, connect a display and keyboard to your Raspberry Pi.
