Use the SSH Remote ControlΒΆ

Bash is the standard default shell of Linux, and can be opened on the Raspberry Pi by using SSH. The Shell itself is a program written in C programming language that acts as a bridge linking the customers and Unix/Linux systems.

For Linux or/Mac OS X Users

Go to Applications -> Utilities, find the Terminal, and open it.

At the prompt, type yes in lowercase.
