No, ssh is a communication protocol that permits a secured connection between a ssh aware computer and your Pi. Just open a terminal session on your Macbook and type:

Code: Select all

ssh your_user_name_on_the_Pi@Pi_ip_address

# Example
ssh raspberry@192.168.0.123
Using Linux command line usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Yes, but after the link is established commands are issued. Is that done in the Python language? Thanks,

No that's bash style shell (environment). You can issue linux commands directly. Not python instructions.

Thanks, I think that's what I was looking for.
