Log in to the Raspberry Pi OS
In this chapter, you will learn how to log in to the Raspberry Pi. Whether you have a screen attached or need to access it remotely, this section will guide you through opening the terminal, which you will use in later chapters to enter commands.
Note
If you are already familiar with Raspberry Pi operations, you can skip this chapter.
Logging in with a Screen
Having a screen attached to your Raspberry Pi makes it easier to interact with the system directly.
Required Components
Pironman 5
Power Adapter
Micro SD card or NVMe SSD with pre-installed Raspberry Pi OS
Monitor Power Adapter
HDMI cable
Monitor
Mouse
Keyboard
Steps
Insert the Micro SD card into the Pironman 5.
Connect the Mouse and Keyboard to the USB ports of the Pironman 5.
Use the HDMI cable to connect the monitor to the HDMI port of the Pironman 5. Make sure the monitor is connected to a power source and is turned on.
Power up the Pironman 5 using the power adapter. You should see the Raspberry Pi OS desktop appear on the monitor shortly.
Once the desktop is visible, open the Terminal by clicking on the terminal icon or searching for it in the menu to start entering commands.
Logging in Remotely Without a Screen
If you do not have access to a monitor, you can still use your Raspberry Pi by logging in remotely.
For command-line access, you can use SSH to connect to the Raspberry Pi’s Bash shell, the default Linux shell which allows for managing the device via commands.
For those who prefer a graphical interface, using a remote desktop application like VNC Viewer offers a visual way to manage files and operations remotely.
