![]() I have Hyper-V on my machine and it’s a pain to get it to work with USB sticks. Go ahead and download unetbootin as well, as you’ll need it to create a bootable disk of your PuppyLinux if you don’t want to run it as a VM. Puppy Linux provides a “live” ISO which doesn’t need installation to run, and is pretty clean - doesn’t leave junk on your disks. I downloaded Tahrpup 6.0, a Puppy Linux distro from here for that job. Since Win32DiskImager creates an ext4 partition that doesn’t work on Windows, you’ll need a Linux machine, or VM to help you with making some changes to the files on your MicroSD card. Since we need our Pi to connect to the WiFi on boot, we need to configure some connection information into it before it starts up. If you’re on a Mac, the official page might be your best resource. So just go by the official guidelines and use Win32DiskImager. I tried using unetbootin cause I’m smart (citation needed), but it ended up creating an unusable disk. If you’re using Windows, you need Win32DiskImager to write the raspbian image onto your MicroSD card. If you’re using Mac, most of these instructions would work for you, but some of the tools, but you’ll have to make a best-guess about it. If you’re using Linux, you’re good to go. You need to download the image from this site first. Things you’ll need:Īs mentioned, I’m using Raspbian Jessie. That was a start, but not good enough as I didn’t want to use Ethernet either.Īfter playing around a while, I’ve come up with the set of steps you need to follow to get SSH access to your Raspberry Pi 3 Model B running Raspbian Jessie, current as of 13th December, 2016. I found a older guide which used Ethernet but managed to do a headless install. I wanted a way to do it without a keyboard whatsoever. I didn’t really think it through but I hoped that there was some way I could get the Pi to work through SSH and eliminate the need for a keyboard and HDMI as well.Īll online documentation that I could find required you to login to the Pi and run a few commands before you could make it headless. I had a power supply from one of my other devices, and I walked to a nearby store and bought a MicroSD card (I swear I had one lying around…). I quickly realized that I needed a MicroSD card to put software on, a power supply to keep it powered and Ethernet for Internet and a USB keyboard to run commands on it. I just purchased the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and was excited about it right until the moment it arrived. Thanks Bernhard Reinel for pointing this out in the comments. Since I made this blog, Raspberry Pi has had several updates, and one of them makes it easier to set up a headless Pi without these many steps. ![]() A quick guide to getting your Raspberry Pi 3 running in headless mode with SSH and WiFi without a Keyboard, HDMI or Ethernet Edit ![]()
