Use the SSH Remote Control

We can open the Bash Shell of Raspberry Pi by applying SSH. Bash is the standard default shell of Linux.
The Shell itself is a program written in C that is the bridge linking the customers and Unix/Linux. Moreover,
it can help to complete most of the work needed.



For Linux or/Mac OS X Users

Step 1

Go to

Applications

->

Utilities

, find the

Terminal

, and open it.

Step 2

Type in

ssh pi@ip_address

. “pi”is your username and “ip_address” is your IP address. For example:

ssh

[email protected]

Step 3

Input”yes”.
