1. Burn the Raspbian image to the SD card

2. Enable ssh

For security reasons, ssh is no longer enabled by default. To enable it you need to place an empty filed named ssh (no extension) in the root of the boot disk. touch /Volumes/boot/ssh

3. Add network info

Create a file in the root of boot called: wpa_supplicant.conf. Then paste the following into it:

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
    ssid="NETWORK-NAME"
    psk="NETWORK-PASSWORD"
}

4. Eject the micro SD card

5. Boot the Raspberry Pi
