BinduSYS rpi setup

A small collection of scripts to setup an rpi.

• Removes games and other non dev stuff (see apt/remove.txt)
• Installs pyqt5 and others (see apt/install.txt)

Note:

• the "default" user is pi
• the default password is is a raspberry

1: Install git and clone this repos

Kick up a terminal and tap in

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/bindusys/bindu-pi.git

2: Install fabric and initial setup

Enter the bindu-sys dir and run the script "initial-setup.sh" which install some python headers and fabric

cd bindu-sys
./initial-setup.sh

3: Run fab commands

To complete tap in fab all which executes a series of commands to remove/add/upgrade and could take a while. Will complete with a reboot.

fab all

Optionally, install "conky", which will create an overlay with the machine's ip address etc (useful when no keyboard and require remote access)

fab install_conky

For more "fab commands" run fab -l

4: Setup ssh

SSH in from remote machine with

    ssh pi@<ip>
    > pass = raspberry

To set passwordless login

    ssh-copy-id pi@<ip>

then below should work with no pass

    ssh pi@<ip>

5: Start VNC server

There are two scripts in tools/ directory.

• vnc-desktop-start.sh start a normal screen session
• vnc-touch-start.sh start an tip-touchcreen sized screen session

Have Fun! :-)
