Configure the OS

  1. On your computer, open a terminal window or command prompt.

  2. ssh pi@carputer.local

  3. If your computer cannot find carputer.local, try just carputer without the .local on the end. You may need to use a network scanner to find the carputer's IP address and connect with the IP address instead of carputer[.local].

  4. When you have a prompt that looks like pi@carputer:~$, you may continue.

  5. sudo apt update

  6. sudo apt full-upgrade -y

  7. sudo sed -i.orig -e 's/^publish-workstation=no/publish-workstation=yes/' /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf

  8. If your Pi has at least 2 GB of RAM: sudo swapoff --all

  9. sudo reboot

  10. Wait about a minute and then reconnect with ssh (see #1).
