In this tutorial I take you through setting up a Raspberry Pi Zero headless using a Ryanteck Debug clip without a monitor, keyboard or mouse.

I setup a wifi dongle and then gain access to the Pi via SSH I talk you though the settings in the /etc/network/interfaces file to get the Pi onto your local wifi network

Contents of my /etc/network/interfaces file is as follows:

interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd For

static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'

Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

allow-hotplug wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

wpa-ssid your-ssid
wpa-psk your-wifi-password

allow-hotplug wlan1 iface wlan1 inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf #----- end of file
