Install on Raspberry Pi

Getting started

1. If you don't have a Raspberry Pi yet grab out from http://www.adafruit.com/products/2358
2. This guide assumes you are running Raspbian (Debian 7 – Wheezy) which can be downloaded from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

Before we do anything else
sudo apt-get update // This makes sure your pack list is up to date.

To check what OS is on your Pi use lsb-release

sudo apt-get install lsb-release // Install
lsb_release -a // Run

You should see

Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 (wheezy)
Release: 7.0
Codename: wheezy

Check your node version.

$ node --version // v0.10.x is recommended if you will be interacting with USB devices

If node is not installed or an older version...

wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_0.10.36_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i node_0.10.36_armhf.deb
# Check version again  
node -v

Install opk-pipe-cli

# You may get a bunch of "npm WARN unmet dependency" messages but you can most likely ignore them  
sudo npm install -g opk-pipe-cli 
# Check that pipe is working
pipe --version 

How to use the pipe command

TIP:

• Use screen to keep pipe watch running without having to keep the terminal open http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference
• If you are deploying several pis you might be able to use the cheaper and lower power consumption Raspberry Pi Model A+ https://www.adafruit.com/products/2266
