Is it possible to install Noobs on raspberry pi without a display and keyboard?

babusingh9211 over 11 years ago

I don't have a USB keyboard and any display device.

I only have a Raspberry Pi model 2 and a memory card.

Is there any possibilities to install use noobs.

like using Raspbian first time using SSH mode..

You could use a common TV connected to RCA output, and select a key during boot to force that output. Off course, you need a keyboard to select the key. Or you could install NOOBS once with keyboard and input, select SSH, dhcp, etc, and the do image copies from that installation.

In simple what the above is saying is that for the initial setup you will need a keyboard and mouse.
It would be nice to see a headless multi distro image sometime soon.

Just a mouse is enough, no need for a keyboard... And everybody has a mouse...

Hi Sumit,

To summarize, as people have mentioned, today the 'NOOBs' software image does require a display (either HDMI or RCA/phono style connector) and some form of input (USB keyboard and/or mouse, possibly both). If you're using the RCA (phono style) connector, then a key needs pressing to enable the display, so then a keyboard is mandatory.
After the initial install/config, you can discard the display and input devices, and use SSH as you wish.

Hi Saurabh,

Thanks, yes it is a little annoying that a monitor is initially needed,
but afterwards it can be removed and used like any other server, just using the network to
access it with SSH.
