- [Instructor] There will be times when you want to set up a Raspberry Pi without a monitor. This is quite handy when you're building a robot or an IOT project, while you'll only be interacting with your Raspberry Pi remotely For the Raspberry Pi zero family, this is your best choice in general. With 512 megs of ram, there's not really much memory for desktop applications. I'll be using the Raspberry Pi imager here, so be sure to check out the video. Flash raspberry Pi OS to a MicroSD Card before proceeding. You can use the Raspberry Pi imager to select a light version of Raspberry Pi OS. This will emit the desktop environment completely and save a lot of disc space and runtime memory usage. You will need to use the OS customization option to create a user, enable SSH, and if you're using wifi, specify which network to connect to. But once that's done, you can move on to the Boot Raspberry Pi For the First Time video.
