This guide below should help- please let me know if you need any help with particular steps

> In order to setup wifi would require you to be able to SSH into the system. Which would then require you to be able to connect your Raspberry Pi to your internet.

> In the event you find yourself a work around to the SSH issue - here is how you setup Wifi:
> 
> - Create a file `wpa_supplicant.conf` in the boot partition of the microSD card with the following content. Note that the network name (ssid) and password need to be in double-quotes (like `psk="password"`)
> 
> ```auto
> ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
> 
> update_config=1
> 
> country=[COUNTRY_CODE]
> 
> network={
> 
> ssid="[WIFI_SSID]"
> 
> psk="[WIFI_PASSWORD]"

> - Replace `[COUNTRY_CODE]` with the [ISO2 code](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search) of your country (eg. `US`)
> - Replace `[WIFI_SSID]` and `[WIFI_PASSWORD]` with the credentials for your own WiFi.
