Step 4: Configuring Your Raspberry Pi
After the initial setup, you can configure your Raspberry Pi further:
- Update the system by opening a terminal and running:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
- Enable SSH for remote access by running:
sudo raspi-config
and navigating to Interface Options > SSH. - Install additional software as needed using
sudo apt install <package-name>
.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, here are some tips:
- No display: Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected and the monitor is powered on.
- Not booting: Recheck the microSD card for proper OS installation.
- Network issues: Verify your Wi-Fi credentials or try using an Ethernet cable.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully set up your Raspberry Pi 5. Explore its capabilities and start building your projects. For more resources, visit the official Raspberry Pi website. Also to mention that i have tried the Raspberry Pi on a power bank with 2 USB ports so that i can use a monitor that uses the USB C type connector on it which i used for the pictures in step 3. It worked but i had a voltage problem as the Raspberry Pi needs 5V 3A to run and the power bank was 5V 2A so to get rid of this message you need a power bank with 3A or higher.
