I already have my Pi talking using the Jessie image on the Raspberry
VI website, but being in the last semester of obtaining my BS in
Computer Science, I've decided I should try setting things up manually
at least once, especially since the class's semester project in my Net
Centric class involves building a Raspberry Pi Cluster.
Anyways, I've already downloaded the latest Jessie-lite image from the
Raspberry Pi Foundation, unzipped it and used dd to put it on a spare
MicroSD.
I presume my next step is to boot with the newly imaged card and ssh
into the Pi, but while I have prior experience with ssh, this will be
my first time trying to ssh into a device on a network I've set-up
myself rather than to access my network drive on a university network.
The physical set-up I'll be using will have my Linux desktop and the
Pi connected to my home network's router via Cat6 Ethernet and every
thing on the desktop's side will be done from the command line.
In the past, I've used an ssh command of the form:
ssh username@remoteHost
and was prompted for my password. My specific questions at this point are:
1. Will I need to modify the format of my ssh command in anyway?
2. How do I determine username and remoteHost for my Pi? In the event
they aren't already installed, what Debian packages provide the
commands needed for this job?
3. Once I've successfully ssh'd into my Pi, are there any tasks I need
to perform(first boot administrative tasks, installing dependencies,
etc.) before attempting to download and install Mike's code?
4. Speaking of which, anyone mind reposting the directions for
downloading and installing Mike's code so I don't have to go archive
diving for them?
If it matters, my current Pi is a Pi2B, though I hope to get at least
one Pi3 by the end of September.
Thanks in advanced for any help that can be provided.
