Linux users do not have to download software; they can open a Terminal window and do the job there. The following guide will use Linux Mint but all the Debian-based distros should be similar. Hopefully, Mac users should not have to do anything different since they also have a terminal. The following details should cover all Linux users.

As mentioned previously, we will work through a terminal, so open up your terminal or console window, and type the following command:

    ssh  

You will see something similar to the following if you have installed ssh in your system (or it was installed by the system):

After you have found the Raspberry Pi Zero W IP address, you should create the following command and type it on your terminal, where the user is pi and ipaddr is the IPv4 address of your Raspberry Pi Zero W board:

    ssh user@ipaddr  

 For example, in the following screenshot, we will connect to 192.168.1.125:

Keep in mind that in the preceding screenshot, the system did not request a password. This is because the login exchanges some keys in the background but we will talk about this in a later section. In your case, you should be prompted to insert your password, and after this, if you hit enter, you should be against the Raspberry Pi bash. So, that is all.
