Raspberry Pi OS Lite is configured with a default user pi and password raspberry.

Login to Raspberry Pi OS with following steps:

1. Enter username pi
2. Enter password raspberry.

It's recommended to change the default password for security reasons with following steps:

1. Type passwd and press enter.
2. Enter current password and press enter.
3. Enter new password and press enter.
4. Enter new password again and press enter.

Configure network LAN or WiFi connection to install updates and HstWB Installer.

Configure LAN by connecting ethernet cable and Raspberry Pi will automatically get an ip-address from local network DHCP server.

Configure WiFi with following steps:

1. Run sudo raspi-config.

2. Select 1 System Options.

3. Select S1 Wireless LAN.

4. Select the contry where the Raspberry Pi is located.
5. Enter SSID.

6. Enter passphrase.

7. Exit raspi-config by pressing ESC key twice.

WiFi connection should be ready to use within 10-30 seconds after configuring it.

Verify internet connection with following command:

ping www.google.com

Ping output should look like this, when internet connection is working:

PING www.google.com (142.250.181.228) 56(84) bytes of data.

Press CTRL + C to stop pinging.

Enabling SSH is optional and mostly for convenience as it allows remote connection with copy & paste of commands to run instead of typing them directly on the Raspberry Pi.

It's highly recommended to change the default password with SSH connections enabled and avoid having the Raspberry Pi's ip-address exposed to the internet via NAT routing unless further security measures are configured like firewall autoban of brute force connections and such!

Enable SSH connection with following steps:

1. Run sudo raspi-config.

2. Select 3 Interface Options.

3. Select I2 SSH.

4. Select Yes to enable SSH connections.
5. Exit raspi-config by pressing ESC key twice.

To connect to Raspberry Pi with SSH get ip-address with following steps:

1. Run ifconfig.

eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

Raspberry Pi ip-address is listed as eth0 inet for etnernet connection or wlan0 inet for wifi connection.

Connect to Raspberry Pi with SSH connection on Windows 10, macOS or Linux with following command, if ip-address is 192.168.0.150:

ssh [email protected]

Type yes and enter to continue. This is only required first time SSH connection is made.

Older versions of Windows might have to use PuTTY to connect to Raspberry Pi with SSH.

Update Raspberry Pi OS Software Configuration Tool to latest version with following steps:

1. Run sudo raspi-config.

2. Select 8 Update.
   • Wait a few minutes for updates to be downloaded and installed.
3. Exit raspi-config by pressing ESC key.

To installing software on Raspberry Pi OS it's recommended to download the latest package lists from the repositories and "updates" them to get information on the newest versions of packages and their dependencies.

Update package lists with following command:

1. Run sudo apt-get update.
   • Wait a few seconds for package lists to be updated.
