To check safely eject the Micro SD card, place it on your Raspberry Pi and power it on by connecting the micro USB cable to your computer (use the PWR Port of the Raspberry Pi for this). Now your raspberry pi should be able to connect to your WiFi. The wifi SSID and the password must be within quotes 'like this', the country code must not. Now we open the file we have pasted called wpa_nf with a text editor like sublime text (try to use a text editor that does not add formatting to the text, avoid word and such). (you will have to disconnect and reconnect it, because the Raspberry Pi Imager automatically expells the micro SD Card). For that we need to paste the attached files on the newly formatted micro SD Card. We then choose the storage medium (we need a micro SD card when using a Raspberry pi Zero W).Īfterwards we need to enable ssh and the WiFi connection for our Raspberry Pi. To do so, we launch Rarpberry Pi imager and on OS select Raspberry Pi OS (other) → Raspberry Pi OS Lite. We will install the Raspberri Pi OS Lite to lower power consumption.

We will also need to install Putty to access the raspberry pi over ssh. I use the Rarpberry Pi imager because it is an all in one solution that englobes disk imaging and OS writting and verification. Hardwarewise, we need a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a USB to micro USB cable and a micro SD Card.įirst you need to download the Raspberry Pi OS via your preferred etching method.
