Raspberry Pi EZ Setup

I’ve been doing a fair few Raspberry Pi projects and keep forgetting how to do basic setup, so imma write out some tips here:

Nice lil resource here.

• Raspberry Pi Imager application is great - quick way to get an OS onto a card.
  • You probably want “Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64bit”. It is under “Raspberry Pi OS (other)”. Debian good.
  • Pi Zero 2 W does NOT support 5ghz networking, only 2.4ghz! Remember to use your “2g” ssid
  • Remember to enable ssh!
• SSH in with ssh username@hostnameOrIp. You may need to use IP the first time as hosts are weiiiird on my network.
• “Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64bit” comes with sudo setup. Don’t need to do anything there!
• Update time. sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Pretty slow on a pi zero but it’ll go. Probably don’t need to do this for every project.
• No git weirdly enough. sudo apt install git

That’s pretty much it for setup! You’ll probably wanna do some sorta git clone / fork of some existing project, then use github or self host for updates. I’ll look into options here, though my old FTP solution was simple and quick.
