# Download a VNC server program. If you are using a MAC and don't have an external monitor/keyboard/mouse handy, you can wait to set this up after you've established an SSH connection to the Pi. You can also try installing a VNC server program via SSH on Windows but I can't guarantee that it will work (I'm not sure how internet sharing works in Windows). From the Pi's terminal type <code> sudo apt-get update</code> and then <code>sudo apt-get install tightvncserver</code>. You will be prompted to confirm installation by typing <code>Y</code>.

# Open terminal and SSH to the Pi with <code> ssh pi@raspberrypi.local</code>. If you're getting a host or timeout error, the Pi probably hasn't finished booting up yet. If all lights on the Pi are flashing indicating a full boot up but you're still not able to SSH, make sure SSH is enabled and type in <code>arp -a</code> to view your network cache. The Pi should appear as a <code>198.162.-.-</code> IP address.
