This guide shows how to bring up a Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W, or Zero 2 W without needing to attach a keyboard/mouse/monitor. For older Pi OS releases, basic settings can be configured by editing text files directly on the SD card using an editor on your main PC prior to first boot. For newer Pi OS releases, the rpi-imager tool can be used to both burn the OS image and configure settings. By Carter Nelson.
