| + | ==== Step 2: Boot Pi ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Put the MicroSD card in the Raspberry Pi, and plug it into a power supply to boot it up, wait for a minute or so. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Step 3: Verify Success ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | You should be able to see the Pi on the local netowrk using its expected hostname. For example, if it's hostname is '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | To verify this, try '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | If so, try logging in using '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Troubleshooting ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you can't find the Pi on the local network once it has booted, it's probably best to connect it to a screen. Use a micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter to connect it to a monitor, and plug in a keyboard and mouse via USB. You should see a command prompt and be able to log in with the chosen username and password. | ||
