To run commands on the Raspberry Pi, you need to open the terminal
on the device or use an SSH connection. You must use an SSH connection from your
development machine if you do not have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected
to the Raspberry Pi.
On Raspbian, the default password for the pi user is raspberry. You should
change this password immediately (run passwd in a terminal on the Pi).
Use the terminal or the SSH session you set up in this step to enter the
commands in the rest of this guide. The working directory for both is
/home/pi.
