Do I do that from my normal pc? I've never used ssh before
I’m not trying to be mean, but I think you might be trying to jump straight into the deep end before learning to swim. While the commands have been included in the guide in order for you to be able to install this, it really does help to understand what those commands do, and what they mean. I suggest first getting to know your pi a little bit better, learning how to get SSH going on that and then moving on to installing Ansible. There’s information on the raspberry pie website on how to get SSH enabled on your pi.
Alright, thanks for trying to help. Will I need ssh on my main pc to get it to work on my pi?
No not really. You first enable it on the raspberry pie. Then you access your raspberry pie from your normal computer by running this command in your command line or shell: ssh [email protected] where ‘user’ is your raspberry pi user (pi by default), and ‘1.2.3.4’ is the ip address of the pi.
Bold of u to assumw they are using linux as there main pc os. If they are using windows i beleive it doesnt come with an ssh client.
You can SSH using command line. I do have a Windows Pro license, but I THINK that it's not exclusive to Pro....
Huh i vagly remember needing putty but i havnt used windows in almost 5years now.
Yeah I also installed putty a long time ago, I forget if it was actually necessary or if I was just afraid of command line back then.
