Here is a simple way to connect raspberry pi and ssh into it. Note: If you are using pi zero, it is assumed that you have a usb wifi adapter connected through the USB port. Open terminal in boot partition of the SD card. Enable SSH: $ touch ssh Set Wifi Network: $ touch wpa_suplicant.conf ctrl_interface = DIR = /var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP = netdev network = { ssid = "YOUR_NETWORK_NAME" psk = "YOUR_PASSWORD" key_mgmt = WPA-PSK } Line 1 is only for Raspbien stretch. Delete it if you are using Jessie. Connect through SSH: Insert SD card and boot. Find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi by accessing the router. e.g. BT uses 192.168.1.254 $ ssh pi@xxx.xxx.x.xx Enter default password: raspberry Done!
