Once the IP address is determined you could SSH into the Pi to perform any kind of administration. Once the device boots up, there are two ways to determine the IP address allocated to the Pi. Insert the SD card into the Pi and boot it up. The first one, which is the smaller one, is the boot partition. If you have loaded Raspberry Pi OS onto a blank SD card, you will have two partitions. The content of the file does not matter it could contain text or nothing at all. If it is found, SSH is enabled and the file is deleted.

When the Pi boots, it looks for the ssh file. SSH can be enabled by placing a file named ssh, without any extension, onto the boot partition of the SD card (In the root of the SD card)from another computer. To enable this, remove the SD card wait for a few seconds and reinsert it into the PC. Enabling SSHīy default, SSH is disabled in the Raspberry Pi OS. Once the SD card is selected, you can click on ‘ WRITE’ and the program should now download and write the SD card with a bootable image of the OS. Start the program, it should look something like this: Install the Raspberry Pi imager tool on your PC. OK! Let's get started… Set up the Raspberry Pi Let's begin by getting the SD card ready for the Pi.

Raspberry Pi imager tool: You can download the version for windows from here and for other platforms visit the main downloads page.

The Plex media server package: More information on how to download this will be explained later.

However, I have found the Raspberry Pi OS to be quite simple to use if you are a newbie.

You will need a Debian based Linux distro running on the Pi: You could use the Ubuntu server 20.04 for ARM.

A temporary HDMI monitor to configure the Pi for the first time.

This tutorial will be completed using Windows 10 PC however this should work similarly on Linux and Mac with only some minor tweaks.

An external hard-disk drive where you have all the media stored (Movies, TV series, Music and Photos).

I am using a Sandisk 16 GB card, however, I recommend at least a minimum of 8 GB card. You need to connect it directly to your home router using the ethernet cable. However, you could use a lower-end model without wifi as well. I am using the 3B+ model which has built-in WiFi (Read more about the specs here).

Henceforth will be referred to as simply Pi. Raspberry Pi 3B+ Single Board Computer Hardware requirements:
