# Fintic
## Install instructions
1. Update your Raspberry PI OS and install git
```shell
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install -y git
```
1. Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/fin-tic/fintic --recursive`
1. Enter the repo: `cd fintic`
1. Install Packages: `bash 01_setup_packages.sh`
1. Install Python dependencies: `bash 02_setup_python.sh`
1. Configure boot configuration: `bash 03_update_boot_config.sh`
1. Reboot the pi: `sudo reboot now`
## Install the hotspot
```shell
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
```console
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
```console
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
## Notes
To convert bdf font to pil format do `pilfont.py <font filename>`
pillow v 5.4.1 works, but version 8.2.0 breaks.
