SSH from Linux

To connect to your Pi Zero using SSH from a Linux operating system, you will need to use your system Terminal. Type the following command:

ssh pi@192.168.1.61

You should obviously replace the IP address with the IP address that your Pi has been assigned. As this is the first time you are connecting to your Pi over SSH from your computer, you will be asked whether you want to accept the ECDSA key fingerprint. This is normal on a first connection and nothing to worry about. Type yes and press Enter to continue connecting. You will then be prompted to enter the password for your Pi. Enter the default password of raspberry and press Enter.

You are now logged into your Pi Zero via SSH, move on to the Final Set up section of this chapter, to get your Pi ready to be used to start making our wearable-tech projects!
