Setup the platform

Setting up the Pi Zero W for basic access

1. Connect the Pi to a monitor.
• It's DVI out of the Pi so an adapter cable may be needed.
2. Connect a keyboard and mouse.
• There's only one USB port on the Pi so you'd probably need a hub.
• But an unpowered hub won't work because the Pi is under-powered by default.
• In any case we want the CLI so we only need a keyboard.
• So:
• Boot with the mouse attached
• Click the Raspberry (top left); Preferences, Raspberry Pi Configuration.
• Choose To CLI and click the OK button.
• Shutdown (via the Raspberry menu), then swap in the keyboard.
• Boot (power-cycle).
3. Configure WiFi
• To scan for networks:  sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID:
• Look for your ESSID and remember it.
• Now edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
• If it's not obvious to you, there are full instructions here.
• Then reboot
4. Enable SSH
• sudo raspi-config.
• Click Interfacing Options.
• Navigate to and click SSH.
• Click Yes.
• Click OK.
• Click Finish.
• Login and change the pi account password (it's raspberry by default).
