This also prevents challenges related to the keyboard layout, where y and z might be reversed and the default password contains a y … Just create a new empty file named ssh in the boot partition of the SD-Card to activate the ssh daemon.

The imager ejects the SD-Card, you might want to re-mount it by physically removing and re-inserting it for the next step.Choose Raspberry Pi OS Lite under OS (other).Download and install the Raspberry Pi Imager based on your workstation OS.You will need a reasonable sized and fast SD-Card with 16-32GB or, even better, a M.2 NMMe SSD drive. In my experience, a RasperryPi 3+ B with 1 GB RAM is sufficient for most use cases.
