Install Raspbian
  • Use etcher to write Raspbian image on disk.
  • Boot image as is. Do not expand image! This will be done at first boot.
Find the pi
ping raspberrypi.local
Enable SSH
  • Mount SD card
  • Create a file ssh on boot partition [1]:
touch /media/*/boot/ssh
1st login
  • User pi.
  • Password raspberry.
  • Sudo access without password.
Configure
sudo raspi-config
Repositories

Network

Detect all Raspberry Pi on local network

From [2]. 

sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 | awk '/^Nmap/{ip=$NF}/B8:27:EB/{print ip}'

where 192.168.1.* will be your local network mask.

We can also simply look for string Raspberry since nmap correctly identifies pi mac address: 

sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 | grep -B2 Raspberry

where 192.168.1.* will be your local network mask.

Raspberry in BRIDGE mode
Methods above fail if Raspberry is setup to bridge wlan0-eth0 connections. In that case, the visible MAC address is the one of the wlan0 interface. It can be detected because the address will be reported twice:
sudo nmap -sP 172.19.2.0/23|sort|uniq -d
# Host is up (0.18s latency).
# MAC Address: 00:0F:13:05:46:C2 (Nisca)              <-- MAC address of the Pi in bridge mode
# MAC Address: 80:86:F2:99:56:B5 (Intel Corporate)
Now we can repeat the request above to get the IP address:
sudo nmap -sP 172.19.2.0/23 | awk '/^Nmap/{ip=$NF}/00:0F:13/{print ip}'

Setup WiFi

Reference:

The quickest way is to use raspi-config tool 

sudo raspi-config

Otherwise, setting up WiFi is quite easy.

  • First get the WiFi network details:
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
# wlan0     Scan completed :
#           Cell 01 - Address: A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6
#                     Channel:6
#                     Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
#                     Quality=69/70  Signal level=-41 dBm  
#                     Encryption key:off
#                     ESSID:"testing"
#                     Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
#                               24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
#                     Bit Rates:6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s
  • Create a new network entry in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
    ssid="testing"
    psk="testingPassword"
}
Better yet, use wpa_passphrase to generate an encrypted PSK:
wpa_passphrase testing >> sudo tee -a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf > /dev/null
sudo vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
# network={
#     ssid="testing"
#     #psk="testingPassword"            <-- REMOVE THIS LINE!!!
#     psk=131e1e221f6e06e3911a2d11ff2fac9182665c004de85300f9cac208a6a80531
# }
Remove the password from the output produced by wpa_passphrase for extra security.
  • On Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, set the country code in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
country=BE
  • Reconfigure the interface
sudo wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure
  • Check interface configuration
ip addr show dev wlan0

It is also possible to

  • Configure multiple WiFi networks.
  • Set a priority, eg. priority=1.

Setup Pi as WiFi HotSpot (router)

This setup the Pi has a WiFi access point (AP) in router mode (NAT).

Configure eth0 / wlan0 / br0 interfaces
  • Content of /etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'

# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

  • Copy default configuration file
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/hostapd/examples/hostapd.conf.gz /etc/hostapd/
cd /etc/hostapd/
sudo gunzip hostapd.conf.gz
  • Set the following variables
interface=wlan0
bridge=br0
ssid=<SSIDHERE>
country_code=BE
channel=4
ignore_broadcast_ssid=1           # SSID will not be broadcasted

  • Restart hostapd
sudo systemctl restart hostapd

Disable HDMI CEC / Anynet+

Add to /boot/config.txt [3]: 

hdmi_ignore_cec=1
