Linux /Unix Users

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

   

2. Check if your Raspberry Pi is on the same network by type in ping <hostname>.local.

   ping raspberrypi.local
   

   

   • If terminal prompts ping: cannot resolve <hostname>.local, it is possible that the Raspberry Pi failed to connect to the network. Please check the network.

   • If you really can’t ping <hostname>.local, try to Get the IP address and ping <IP address> instead. (e.g., ping 192.168.6.116)

   • If multiple prompts like 64 bytes from <IP address>: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.464 ms appear, it means your computer can access the Raspberry Pi.

3. Type in ssh <username>@<hostname>.local (or ssh <username>@<IP address>).

   ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
   

4. The following message may appear.

   The authenticity of host 'raspberrypi.local (192.168.6.116)' can't be established.
   ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:7ggckKZ2EEgS76a557cddfxFNDOBBuzcJsgaqA/igz4.
   Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
   

   Input "yes".

   

5. Input the password you set before. (Mine is raspberry.)

6. We now get the Raspberry Pi connected and are ready to go to the nextstep.
