Using Console Only

There are sev eral ways to use the console only and they can be divided into mainly two ways:

using directly and remotely.

A. Directly

A screen is needed w hen you use the console directly.

1. Preparations: a screen monitor, an HDMI cable (if your monitor only support VGA, use a

VGA-HDMI converter), a USB keyboard and a network cable or a USB Wi-Fi dongle. Yes,

you don’t need a mouse, or you cannot use mouse.

2. Connect the monitor to power. Then connect it with the Raspberry Pi v ia the converter

cable. Connect the Ethernet cable or the USB Wi-Fi dongle, and keyboard. At last,

connect a 5V 2A DC power to the RPi. Power on the screen if needed. Then you can see

the console full screen. If you boot into GUI instead, Open a terminal, type in sudo raspi-

config and press enter, go through Boot Options > Console/Console Autologin, and reboot.

B. Remotely

For three platforms: Windows, Mac and Linux, it might be a little bit different to do this.

Linux and Mac users can easily log into the Raspberry Pi v ia ssh.

On Linux or Mac, find Terminal and open it.
