# Ensure that SSH is enabled on the Pi. This is the default out of the box setting. You can verify the setting by typing <code> raspi-config</code> into terminal and navigating to ssh -> enable

# 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>.

# Plug in the wall power adapter into the Raspberry Pi, and then plug it into the wall to turn the power on. The Raspberry Pi will take a minute to boot up.

# 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.

# You’ll be prompted to verify you’re trying to login to the Raspberry Pi. Type “yes” and press return. Type the password, which is “raspberry” and press return. Boom! You’re logged into your Raspberry Pi.

# We now need to run the VNC Server, so enter the following command into your SSH window: <code> vncserver :1</code>. If you haven't downloaded the VNC server application, follow step 2 of Getting Started. If you're using Windows, I can't guarantee that the <code> tightvncserver</code> will download over your SSH connection.

You may need to connect the Pi to an external monitor/keyboard/mouse to install the application.
# If this is the first time you've started the VNC server, you will be prompted to enter and confirm a password. It would make sense to use “raspberry” for this, but passwords are limited to 8 characters, so I use “raspberr”. Note that this is the password that you will need to use to connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely. You will also be asked if you want to create a separate “read-only” password – say no.

# The VNC server is now running and so we can attempt to connect to it, but first we must switch to the computer from which we want to control the Pi and setup a VNC client to connect to the Pi. Open the VNC viewer you downloaded earlier and enter <code>raspberrypi.local:1</code> for the VNC Server. Leave the Encryption at the default setting and click Connect. Ignore the warning and enter the password you created earlier ("raspberr").
