![]() ![]() If you want to save money and desk space, we recommend trying a headless install of the Pi and logging into your Pi from your primary PC. The whole process should take no more than 10 minutes. We’ve got a detailed article that explains how to set up your Raspberry Pi for the first time and, for Pico users, how to set up a Raspberry Pi Pico and the Raspberry Pi Pico W. ![]() We've got a great list of the best soldering irons for you to solder the pins to your Raspberry Pi Pico / Zero. If you've got a Raspberry Pi Pico, all you'll need is a computer to connect it to (via USB) and likely you'll want to solder on GPIO pins, which it comes without. If you have the Pi 4, you’ll need a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, because that board has micro HDMI out. Screen: While you can buy screens that attach to the Pi’s GPIO pins, the easiest thing is to run an HDMI cable from the Raspberry Pi to a monitor or TV.We like using wireless keyboards that have built-in pointing devices for our Pi, and the best of these is the Lenovo ThinkPad Trackpoint Keyboard II, which is super compact and connects via both Bluetooth and 2.4-GHz. All recent models except the Raspberry Pi Zero (non-W) and the Pico have Bluetooth you can use as well. Keyboard / Mouse: The Pi has USB ports you can use to connect these and, if you get a Raspberry Pi 400, the keyboard is part of the chassis.However, if want to use the Pi as standalone, you will obviously need: If you choose to do a Raspberry Pi headless install, which lets you control the Pi from another computer, those are the only things you’ll need. For earlier Pi models, a 2.5 amp, 5-volt charger with a micro USB interface fits the bill. ![]() For the Pi 4, you need a USB Type-C charger (see our list of best USB-C chargers) with 5 volts and at least 3 amps. However, once you've set up, you can boot a Raspberry Pi 4 from a USB SSD for maximum performance. We maintain a list of the best microSD cards for Raspberry Pi to help you choose. ![]()
