Raspberry Pi OS Headless Setup

00:06.000 --> 00:10.000
In this video, we will learn to set up a Headless Raspberry Pi.

00:10.000 --> 00:13.000
Enable and configure Remote Access.

00:13.000 --> 00:16.000
Install and use Tiger VNC.

00:16.000 --> 00:21.000
Connect to Raspberry Pi using VNC.

00:21.000 --> 00:25.000
Enabling Remote Access for a Headless Setup.

00:25.000 --> 00:28.000
What if you want to use your Raspberry Pi without a monitor?

00:28.000 --> 00:32.000
You can set it up remotely with SSH before the first boot.

00:32.000 --> 00:40.000
Back in Raspberry Pi Imager, select your Pi model, OS, and storage media.

00:40.000 --> 00:46.000
But this time, click Edit Settings when prompted for OS customization.

00:46.000 --> 00:52.000
In the General tab, set a hostname to easily identify and connect to your Pi on the network.

00:53.000 --> 00:59.000
Then, create a username and password, which will be used to log in remotely via SSH.

00:59.000 --> 01:04.000
Finally, configure wireless LAN if you're using Wi-Fi.

01:04.000 --> 01:11.000
Note, for remote access, both your Pi and the controlling device must be on the same network.

01:11.000 --> 01:19.000
If you're using a wired LAN, you can skip this step, but keeping the Pi wired limits the flexibility of a Headless Setup.

01:19.000 --> 01:23.000
Finalizing and booting up Raspberry Pi.

01:23.000 --> 01:30.000
Next, go to the Services tab, enable SSH and select Use Password Authentication.

01:30.000 --> 01:35.000
In the Options tab, leave everything as default and click Save.

01:35.000 --> 01:40.000
Confirm the OS customization and accept the formatting prompt.

01:41.000 --> 01:46.000
Now, wait for the Imager to write and verify the OS.

01:57.000 --> 02:01.000
Once done, insert the storage media into the Pi, power it on.

02:01.000 --> 02:04.000
Your Headless Setup is ready.

02:04.000 --> 02:07.000
Installing Tiger VNC.

02:07.000 --> 02:11.000
Launch your web browser and search for Tiger VNC.

02:11.000 --> 02:14.000
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing.

02:14.000 --> 02:22.000
Then, go to the official site and look for the Download section and click GetHub Release page.

02:22.000 --> 02:32.000
You will be navigated to the GetHub page, then look for the stable, latest, and click the source, forage link and click Download.

02:33.000 --> 02:36.000
Run the installer.

02:36.000 --> 02:43.000
Your system may prompt that the application is not from a recognized creator, click on the more info and run anyway.

02:43.000 --> 02:50.000
Follow the installation wizard's instructions to set up the Tiger VNC app.

02:50.000 --> 02:54.000
Connecting to Raspberry Pi via VNC.

02:54.000 --> 02:59.000
Launch the VNC app.

03:00.000 --> 03:04.000
Open Command Prompt as Administrator.

03:04.000 --> 03:06.000
Run ARP-A.

03:06.000 --> 03:10.000
This displays all the IP connected to your Wi-Fi.

03:10.000 --> 03:13.000
Confirm the PI's IP with Ping4.

03:13.000 --> 03:14.000
Hostname.

03:14.000 --> 03:18.000
In our case, this is Ping4 Pi001.

03:18.000 --> 03:21.000
This displays the exact IP where our Pi is connected.

03:21.000 --> 03:24.000
We have the IP where our Pi is connected now.

03:24.000 --> 03:28.000
Let's access the Pi terminal using Remote SSH by running.

03:28.000 --> 03:31.000
SSH username at IP.

03:31.000 --> 03:39.000
In our case, SSH admin at 192.168.1.5.

03:39.000 --> 03:46.000
After the prompt changed to your Pi terminal, type sudo-rs-py-config and hit Enter.

03:46.000 --> 03:54.000
This open the configuration menu of the Pi Navigate to interface options using the arrow keys and hit Enter.

03:54.000 --> 03:58.000
Then open Tiger VNC and hit Enter and accept the prompt.

03:58.000 --> 04:02.000
Asking would you like the VNC server to be enabled?

04:02.000 --> 04:13.000
After enabling VNC, use the tab key to Navigate to Finish, Return to the Pi terminal, and type Exit to disconnect SSH.

04:13.000 --> 04:20.000
Now open the Tiger VNC application, then enter IP address of the Pi in the VNC server field.

04:20.000 --> 04:34.000
If you forgot to note down your IP, you can quickly get the IP from the command prompt by running ARP-A or Ping4 post-name.

04:34.000 --> 04:46.000
After the VNC is successfully connected to the server of our Pi, we'll prompt for authentication, enter the username, and the password that are set during the OS customization and hit Enter.

04:46.000 --> 04:51.000
If everything goes correctly, you will view the Pi desktop.

04:51.000 --> 04:59.000
These steps let you set up and manage your Raspberry Pi remotely, making it more flexible and accessible for projects.
