For this project we will use raspbarian, which is a debian distribution designed for the rasberry platform.

Initial installation

The official installation instructions are found here.

Start by downloading the latest Raspbian Jessie, and then follow the installation instructions from the official guide.

Post-installation steps

  1. Enable SSH

    Follow this guide

  2. Change the hostname

    sudo nano /etc/hostname

    change it to raspberryXX, where XX is your groupnumber

  3. Change your password

    passwd

    (notice that we are not using sudo for this)

  4. Reboot

    sudo reboot

You should now be able to access your raspberry by hostname, ie. ping raspberryXX.
