Install instructions

1. Update your Raspberry PI OS and install git

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade -y
   sudo apt install -y git
   

2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/fin-tic/fintic --recursive

3. Enter the repo: cd fintic

4. Install Packages: bash 01_setup_packages.sh

5. Install Python dependencies: bash 02_setup_python.sh

6. Configure boot configuration: bash 03_update_boot_config.sh

7. Reboot the pi: sudo reboot now

Install the hotspot

cd ~
curl "https://www.raspberryconnect.com/images/hsinstaller/AutoHotspot-Setup.tar.gz" -o AutoHotspot-Setup.tar.gz
tar -xzvf AutoHotspot-Setup.tar.gz
cd Autohotspot
sudo ./autohotspot-setup.sh

Choose option 2, then option 7 to change the SSID and password (for some reason it didn't work with the default SSID and password).

Then you can connect to the network and go to http://fintic.local:1024 or http://10.0.0.5:1024 and enter wifi information, then reboot

Change the hostname

To change the hostname (URL used to access the server) first open config

sudo raspi-config

Then go to system options -> hostname and change it to e.g. fintic

You then connect to the server using the url fintic.local:1024

Run instructions

sudo -E python3 server.py

in browser go to url http://raspberrypi.local:1024

If it doesn't work because of a missing package try running setup.sh again, sometimes it fails to connect to the package repos
