Headless Raspberry Pi Setup
Don’t have an extra keyboard or HDMI cable? Here’s how to do a headless Raspbian install on your Pi.
To use headless wireless, edit wpa_supplicant.conf
in the boot partition (direct from Windows):
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="YOUR SSID HERE"
psk="YOUR PASSWORD HERE"
}
