If you are using the Ethernet cable, connect it to your Raspberry Pi too.

After that, run the following command in the terminal program:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\r\nping raspberrypi.local\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>When your Raspberry Pi has an IP address, it should respond with the content similar to the following:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: bash; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\r\nPING raspberrypi.local (192.168.1.114): 56 data bytes\r\n64 bytes from 192.168.1.114: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=8.226 ms\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Given that input, you can deduce that your Raspberry Pi had gotten <strong>192.168.1.114<\/strong> as the IP address.<\/p>\n<p>Even if your Raspberry Pi does not respond with the IP address, you can access your home router's control panel to find the IP address of your Raspberry Pi.
