Using Bitvise

Two ways to install the software:

Note the IP address by left-clicking on the Wi-Fi icon on the top right side.  You will need this IP address later in the process.
Using the Desktop or SSH

For using the Desktop,

setting the Environment

Click ont the terminal icon at the top left menu bar.
This will bring up a small terminal. We need to make it larger
Now click on the Edit at the top and then Preferences
Click on Terninal font at the top and select "Monospace Regular" and set size to 14 then OK.
To incress the ternimal put the curser on a corner and make it bigger.

OR

SSH into the Pi

Advantage if using two monitors on your computer to using SSH is it will free up the monitor on the Pi.

  • I use Bitvise to log into the pi. It gives you a page like FileZilla and an xterm like putty.
  • how to use and get Bitvise: SSH software forEnvironmentWindows.
  • Log in as the User Pi and the password.
  • The default password is “raspberry if you did not change it.

With either method for a terminal you will need to learn how to use an editor. The most common is “nano” or “vi” which is not very user friendly. So most instructions will be using “nano” very similar to note pad.
