Install ack (very optional, can also just aptitude install ack-grep, but I prefer this way). Install your basic set of important utilities and packages (yours should be different, as you learn what tools you like to use): aptitude install vim git monit avahi-daemon libssl-dev i2c-tools watchdog python3. Become superuser (instead of the pi user): sudo su. Start customizing your installation Install important packages and tools #Connect raspberry pi to mac ethernet upgrade#
Upgrade the RPi firmware: sudo rpi-update. Upgrade available updates: sudo apt-get upgrade. #Connect raspberry pi to mac ethernet update#
Update the available packages: sudo apt-get update. Reboot sudo reboot and reconnect by ssh. Consider changing GPU memory - mine run headless, so I distribute all the memory away from the GPU. Advanced -> hostname, add a friendly (simple character only) name you want to call your Pi, e.g. Locale: Deselect the GB one, select en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8. You should probably write down that IP address as well. SSH into the address you found using username pi, i.e. Comparing the output from the two arp -as, look for a new address that probably involves the word “bridge”, likely one without 255 anywhere, and there’s a good chance it starts with 192.168. Turn on Internet Sharing, wait about a minute. Turn off Internet Sharing and wait a few seconds. #Connect raspberry pi to mac ethernet manual#
If the above command doesn’t work, you may have to break it down into manual steps by:.Output the RPi’s IP address with arp -a | grep bridge | grep -v -e incomplete -e 255 | grep -oE '\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+'.On Mac turn on System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing (make sure ethernet is checked).Setting up the RPi, still from the OS X Terminal After connecting RPi directly with Ethernet cable but before powering it on: Remove the SD card and insert into the RPi.Copy the Raspbian image to the SD card: sudo dd if=raspbian.img of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m & sync.Double check that number, since the next step could erase your MacBook’s hard drive if you got it wrong.Replace # with the appropriate number diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#.Identify the /dev/disk number of the SD card: diskutil list.Setting up the SD card From Mac, with micro SD card connected

Most of the code blocks ( looks like this ) are intended to be run from Terminal.app on your Mac. Please read my disclaimer before you blindly follow any of these steps! This is not intended to be run all at once as a shell script, instead each step should be run individually, especially since some are intended to be run from your Mac and others from the RPi. The steps below should be used as a general guide and not necessarily followed verbatim. NB: My technique will need adjustment for folks with newer MacBooks (Airs and such) that don’t have an ethernet port!
If your computer doesn’t have an SD card slot and / or your micro SD card doesn’t come with an adapter, you’ll also need to pick up some kind of USB-to-micro-SD device.īasically, aside from the bare minimum (power and SD card), the ethernet cable is sufficient to program everything over SSH from the MacBook.
The micro SD card I linked to also has a full-size SD card adapter, which is necessary to program it from the MBP SD card slot.If you’re using a RPi B instead of a B+ you’ll need a different kind of card, it doesn’t use the micro SD cards.
I like this $11, prime-eligible 16GB card from Amazon. I generally like to use it with this AC -> USB power adapter from Adafruit. Instead, all I need to get up and running is: That said, I’ve never hooked mine up to a monitor. It has a great HDMI output and has a powerful enough graphics chip to display 1080p. Because they are UK based, shipping adds a bit to the cost from their distributors, but currently you can buy a B+ through Amazon for ~$33 with free shipping (not Prime) and an A+ for ~$25 with Prime shipping. Their two most recent models are the B+, which is credit-card sized and runs $35, and the slightly smaller A+, which is even more energy efficient and runs $25. In short, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a non-profit organization whose goal was to develop a computer that would be affordable to people worldwide and facilitate learning computer science, programming, and electronics. The process has definitely made me a more capable Mac user, and I now have a Chromebook running Arch Linux as well. I’ve really had a lot of fun over the last year or two learning some of the basics of Linux and the command line with the Raspberry Pi. Bottom Line: When I get a new Raspberry Pi, here is how I get it up and running with SSH over an ethernet cable directly attached to my MacBook.
