I'm as new as possible to Raspberry Pi, and I'd like to configure the following:

  • My Raspberry Pi connected directly to my Mac via an Ethernet cable, so that I can setup and run the RP entirely from my Mac via SSH.

  • My Mac and Raspberry Pi configured so that the RP connects to the Internet through a shared connection on my Mac.

Ideally I'd like to be able to accomplish this "headlessly" (if that's a word): starting out of the box with the Raspberry Pi, plugging it in to the Mac, and going from there.

Is there a way to accomplish this? This (for a variety of reasons) is the only way I can use the Raspberry Pi, so I'm hoping it can be done!

OS X 10.11.1; RP 2 B v1.1

See the answer at https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/38493/8697 NOTE this assumes you have installed a recent Raspbian (not NOOBS, which needs a monitor/keyboard to setup).

I think this would work without configuration, but if you can borrow a monitor and keyboard to initially setup it can be made to work.

No you cannot configure "so that the RP connects to the Internet through a shared connection on my Mac". You can use Ethernet to access the Mac, OR to give internet access, not both.
