Terminal will not connect raspberry pi to MacBook Pro

i’ve tried the ssh command in terminal several times without success. Terminal doesn’t even give me feedback on whether the command was successful or not. Is there a backup way to connect?

May I ask which of our products you’re currently using?

PICAR-X. I have an M4 MacBook Pro running the latest MacOS. I’ve installed the operating system on the SD card a dozen times, but terminal doesn’t do anything with the ssh command. I use terminal rarely (a half dozen time over 20 years) and don’t know what to expect.

I missed turning the ssh on in the Raspberry Pi Imager. Now squared away.

If you get your R-Pi board connected to the internet you should be able to connect via VNC viewer on the MAC or PC. The board ID is Pidog by default.
