Every device connected to your network will have their own special IP Address. To connect to your RPi, you will need to know its special phone number, known as the IP Address.
There are many tutorials available for that, so I will leave you to the experts for this step. There's no getting around that step, but do not fear - it's also fairly easy and automated. Please note that I've written this tutorial for the Raspbian operating system, but the exact same steps can likely be used for any of the other distributions available for the RPi.įirst things first: if you have not already done so you will need to do the initial setup for your Raspberry Pi. Let's break your RPi free from all those peripherals right now, in just 3 easy steps! The other 17 steps are difficult. The RPi software can even be installed remotely from your PC, if you have already set up your RPi.
The process is quite simple actually - you will need to install a bit of software onto your Raspberry Pi, and you'll need a bit of software on the PC you'll be using to access it. If you are new to the Raspberry Pi, it will likely still be easiest to do the initial setup using your TV and maybe a borrowed keyboard/mouse, but then after you'll never have to go through all of that trouble again! And as a bonus, it also means I get fewer dirty looks from my dearest ("fewer" being the key word there ). It also means I can put the Pi anywhere else in the house (or in the yard or greenhouse!) and still have easy access. Now that I have set up Remote Desktop on my Pi, I can easily access it via a window on my iMac, which means more time tinkering and less time dealing with setup details.
That didn't always go over well with my dearest, who's not into decor that incorporates multiple cables strewn randomly into its design. When I first received my Raspberry Pi, I didn't have a monitor available, so every time I wanted to work with it I would have to go through the trouble of hooking it up to the TV or borrowing the monitor I used for my main computer. This is a guide to setting up a remote desktop for your Raspberry Pi, and how to connect to it from a Windows/Linux/Mac desktop PC without needing a monitor, mouse or keyboard hooked up to the Pi itself.
