Installation Guide for BirdNET-Pi

  • Insert a microSD card in the computer with the Raspberry Pi Imaging software.
  • The size of the microSD card needs to be 16 GB.
  • Open the Raspberry Pi Imager and click CHOOSE OS to select the operating system for BirdNET-Pi.
  • Click Raspberry Pi OS (other) Other Raspberry Pi OS based images

  • Scroll down the list and select "Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit)"

  • Next, click "CHOOSE STORAGE" to select the SD card the BirdNET-Pi will use

  • Choose the SD card onto which we will write the RaspiOS-Lite (64-bit) operating system

  • Now, click the gear icon in the bottom right to open the "Advanced options" menu

  • Answer Yes - to fill in WiFi details

  • Set the hostname you would like this BirdNET-Pi to use to be reached.
  • For example, to have multiple BirdNET-Pis on the same network, you might want to give them each a different hostname.
  • In this example, the installation will be reachable at "http://birdnetpi1.local", since that is the hostname that is set during this step.
  • You should also "Enable SSH" and select to "Use password authentication"
  • When you scroll down, you will set the option to "Set username and password."
  • This example creates a new user called pi.

  • You will also configure the system's connection to your WiFi by entering the network's name (SSID) and the password used to connect to that WiFi.
  • Adjust the locale settings for your Time zone and Keyboard layout.
  • Save the settings

  • Click "WRITE" to write the image to the SD card

  • Select "YES" and enter to allow your host system (the computer you're on now) to write the SD card.
  • Wait while the image is written to the card and the checksums verified

  • You may need to give permission for your computer to make changes to the SD card.
  • Enter your password (if requested) and click OK.

  • The writing and verification process takes approx 5-10 minutes.

  • When the SD card is ready, you'll be notified that is ok to remove it from your computer

  • At this point, you will put the SD card into the Raspberry Pi and will allow it a few minutes to boot up.
  • After a few minutes, you can move on to the next step.
