To get started with your Raspberry Pi, you’ll need the following:

• A Raspberry Pi 5 (either 4GB or 8GB)
• A power supply
• Boot media (e.g. a microSD card with ample storage and speed)

You can set up your Raspberry Pi as an interactive computer with a desktop, or as a headless computer accessible only over the network. To set your Raspberry Pi up headless, you don’t need any additional peripherals: you can preconfigure a hostname, user account, network connection, and SSH when you install an operating system. If you want to use your Raspberry Pi directly, you’ll need the following additional accessories:

• a display
• a cable to connect your Raspberry Pi to your display
• a keyboard
• a mouse
