The content on this page is hardware-dependent. Please select from the following:
Before you begin, you'll need the following components:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and power supply (see
recommended kit
)
USB microphone (see
recommended
)
Speaker, preferably USB (see recommended
USB
or
3.5mm-jack
)
An SD card with
NOOBS
pre-installed. NOOBS is an OS installer that contains Raspbian by default
and simplifies OS setup.
You may also want to have a USB keyboard, USB mouse, and a monitor with an
HDMI cable. These simplify initial hardware setup (and are required to
install NOOBS).
You'll now set up the hardware and configure network access.
- Connect the microphone and speaker to the Raspberry Pi.
- Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi (with NOOBS or Raspbian with
Desktop already loaded).
- Connect a USB keyboard, USB mouse and HDMI monitor to your Raspberry Pi. If
you don't have these, you can always
connect to the Pi remotely
.
- Plug in an ethernet cable or
connect to a Wi-Fi
network
.
After you configure access, you can connect to the Raspberry Pi via
SSH
(optional).
Check that the date and time are set correctly on the device.

Connect to the Raspberry Pi via SSH (Optional)
To run commands on the Raspberry Pi, you need to open the
terminal
on the device or use an SSH connection. You must use an SSH connection from your
development machine if you do not have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected
to the Raspberry Pi.
Make sure
SSH is enabled
on the Raspberry Pi.
ssh pi@
raspberry-pi-ip-address
password:
password-for-raspberry-pi
For example:
$ ssh pi@192.168.1.101
password: raspberry
On Raspbian, the default password for the
pi
user is
raspberry
. You should
change this password immediately (run
passwd
in a terminal on the Pi).
Use the terminal or the SSH session you set up in this step to enter the
commands in the rest of this guide. The working directory for both is
/home/pi
.
