The New Method to Setup Raspberry Pi Zero (2023 Tutorial)

This tutorial will guide you through the new method to setup your Raspberry Pi Zero WH from start to finish. We will show you how to format the SD card, flash the Raspbian operating system to that SD card. We will setup WIFI and SSH so that we can immediately connect to our device over our local network using SSH and VNC remote desktop. Finally we will stand up a basic website using NGINX.

the new imager (late may 2023) makes this a lot more simple. now you can enable ssh and set the wifi informations with the imager itself. it's pure gold! :) Also you do not need any subsystem for win10 and 11. They come with everything you need. They both come with an openSSH client that will just work from the cmd/terminal. it will look and work exactly as described in this video. :)

Just FYI Windows cmd command shell has ping etc. It also has an integrated ssh terminal. Just type ssh and the hostname.

To those coming to this video after 5/23/2022. In the raspberry pi imager there is a gear in the bottom right corner. Where you now configure the SSH, and all other options. To get remote connected. VNC is the same though.

That was incredibly helpful for a first raspberry pi and a decade since playing with linux. Much thanks!

[Commonwealthgoose]

Just what I needed, thank you for the great video!

[Mark-fctu]

I appreciate the content. Lots of similar articles for Raspberry Pi Zero ssh but your video specifically mentioned the power slot and not the middle connection slot. Made all the difference in the world.

Anyways bro thank you finally I'm amble to connect with vnc I was struggling for 5 days thank you so much and ur life saver I got 2 days left for doing my final project

[juleswombat]

That was way too cool :)
Awesome fun

[mormoj]

thanks, this video was very useful 👍👍

[Brocollipy]

Wow soooo helpful thank you. I really should have watched this before order all the random cables and connectors 🤣

[rbek]

This is overwhelming ❤️❤️ thank you keep up the good work

[jordanhassmann]

Great video! Got me up and running with it very quickly! However I'm having a few issues. I'm able to connect it to wifi and ssh in, but I only have the "Bookshelf" directory. Additionally, when I run the "api-get update" with sudo permission I originally received an error regarding "You do not have enough storage space" (I'm using a 64GB SD card). Now however, when I run "api-get update" and/or attempt to "mkdir test" I receive errors regarding "Read-only file system". Do you have any insight into how to troubleshoot this?

This video walkthrough is pretty detailed and it helped me setup pi quickly, thanks a lot @DataSlayerMedia and please continue creating such great content!

[alihanceylan]

google connection with ssh and wifi file is not working. please help me

[osielvivar]

I can't access the SSH file in the link. I think there is a billing problem?

[wailbanjar]

I have an open Wi-Fi.. so what do I need to write in the Wi-Fi password field? shall I leave it empty?

[josecelso]

I can only open these files that you have provided if my operating system is linux?
