After the first boot and logging via SSH into the Raspberry Pi Zero W, this video shows the sequence of actions I usually take to install the software.
This video uses the following hardware components:
- 1x microSD card (see previous steps for preparation, ~€7);
- 1x Raspberry Pi Zero W board (~€16);
- 1x micro USB cable with power pins (data pins not required, ~€7). Total: about €30
