After frustration I came to you and you helped me thank you!

This is a godsend - it worked on my Raspberry Pi Zero W. Thank you

[naveenbhutoria]

Thank you professor for an excellent visualisation of step to step process of setting up raspberrypi. It was really helpful.

[doodkfkrpekfmfmrke]

Thanks so much! After looking at soo many tutorials, this one actually worked!

[Sazuleta]

What an excellent guide. Very clear and to the point. This really helped me with my raspberry pride project. :)

[arunankam]

nicely done! your video was the easiest to follow. Thanks for sharing

[KT-tluv]

[sheenad]

Hope this helps someone else...

I tried this and it wasn't working. I eventually figured out that my issue was that my wifi router supports both:
* Wireless Network (2.4GHz b/g/n), and
* Wireless Network (5GHz a/n/ac)

Using a 5GHz a/n/ac network failed, but using the 2.4GHz b/g/n worked!
Make sure you're NOT using a 5GHz network for your ssid network name.

This was so helpful. Thank you so so much. I have a question though. Why did we use Rasbian stretch lite and not Raspian desktop?

[jesserinseattle]

Thank you for the video! It's been very easy to follow. Quick question, as I'm having trouble getting my Pi 4 to talk to my Mac.

I made it to 10:33. When I enter "ssh-keygen -R raspberrypi.local" I get "mkstemp: No such file or directory found"

I repeated the previous steps of creating the SSH and nano wpa~~ to enter in my own network and password. I double checked my work by looking at ls to make sure the files were still there. However, I got the same error.

Any thoughts? Thanks again!

Nice video. Can you post Links to the instructions website? Also why not load Raspian with desktop. Can’t you then do graphical interface with your pi?

[Basslanyience]

I struggled a looong time on step 7!
But @brucebarret comment was what made it worked for me!! Thanks for all

[MrKingtexas]

Everything work until up to step 4 I can’t connect to the raspberry it say no such file or directory

[milindgopal]

I am getting this :
Milinds-MacBook-Air:RaspLeela say_milli$ ssh-keygen -R raspberrypi.local
mkstemp: No such file or directory

[pjdrives]

After installing the NOOBS image onto my SD card my iMac running Catalina can no longer read it and doesn’t recognize the SD card (“Can’t read this disk; would you like to format” error msg ), meaning I can’t add the ssh and configure files. Any advice?

[caylareign]

For step 7 I am getting an error that says mkstemp: No such file or directory. I followed all of the steps in this order twice and I am still having the same issue

Aloha John, I followed the directions and it doesn’t look like the code to get my Pi to connect to my network is working. It’s not showing up as a device connected to the website and I can’t communicate via terminal either. Any thoughts?

[Yeahthisisme]

When I type in the command “ ssh-keygen -R raspberrypi.local” ... I get the line
mkstemp: No such file or directory
