Installation steps

Follow these instructions to install the software on your SD card:

  • Apply OS customization when prompted. Edit settings to configure hostname, username, password, wireless network information, and enable SSH (found under services).
  • SSH into Raspberry Pi, e.g., use the terminal command ssh [email protected]. Note: pi is the username, and raspberrypi is the hostname by default.
  • Install Git with the command: sudo apt install git.
  • Clone Control Lab IO Remote repository by running: git clone https://github.com/diegobaca/Control-Lab-IO-Remote.git.
  • Navigate to the Control Lab IO Remote folder with cd /home/pi/Control-Lab-IO-Remote. Replace pi with your own username if you changed it during OS customization.
  • Run the installation script with sudo ./install.sh. This can take a while if you choose 'yes' to the system updates. Look for the message "Installation of Control Lab IO Remote is complete." when installation is finished.
  • Open a web browser on a device on the same network and type the Raspberry Pi's IP address to connect.
