Build Setup

Just about everything you need is setup for you.

• Import the project into the Raspberry and unzip it.
• Set an internet connection to IONIS or plug it in ethernet.
• Copy launch.sh in the root of your raspberry and add this line in the .bashrc "./launch.sh" and please make that a terminal launch automatically after a reboot (on a RPI3 , add @lxterminal in the auto-start file)
• Get your autolog at this adress (https://intra.epitech.eu/admin/autolog) and replace the token in "YOUR_AUTOLOG_HERE" var in json/index.js. All the job will be done for you !

In case of index.js in the light repository doesn't work after a successful reboot :

• Launch get_rooms.sh at the root of the EpiLight repository
• Please go in the Light repository and launch this command: "sudo node index.js" and let the script run.

In case of crontab failed :

• Set this line after doing a crontab -e -> 0 * * * * "$(command -v bash)" -c 'cd /home/pi/EpiLight && sudo ./get_rooms.sh'
