Raspberry Pi: Headless Wifi Configuration for the first boot

  1. Download the latest Raspbian. Get the "lite" image if you don't require a GUI.

  2. Burn the image to your SD card as you normally would depending on your OS. Etcher is a good tool for all systems.

  3. Open the boot volume in finder and create a new file called "wpa_supplicant.conf".

  4. Write your network config like this: (That's for WPA2 Personal with AES)

    network={
    ssid="YOUR_SSID"
    psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
    proto=RSN
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	pairwise=CCMP
    auth_alg=OPEN
}

  5. When using Raspbian lite, enable SSH by placing a file named "ssh" into the boot volume.

  6. Use a network scanner to find the IP of your raspberry and connect to it via ssh
    Username: pi Password: raspberry - (Don't forget to change the default password with passwd.)
