Setup Wifi

This section describes how to setup the wifi on your raspberry pi zero w without the need for a keyboard or monitor attached to the device.

1. Download the wpa_supplican.conf example file here
2. Rename wpa_supplicant.conf.example to wpa_supplicant.conf
3. Setup your wifi name and password (note: you will be using "eduroam")
   1. Change your GMU password, this will ensure it will not expire during the course of the class
   2. Modify "identity" to match your GMU email address
   3. Modify "password" to match your GMU email password
4. Insert the SD card into your computer
5. Go to the SD card drive named "boot"
6. Place the wpa_supplicant.conf created above inside of "boot". This will automatically copy wpa_supplicant.conf to its required place (i.e. /etc/wpa_supplicant/)
