Install

To use the raspberry pi first install the GUI on the computer you'll be using to connect with the raspberry pi, there's a Windows .exe version and native python versions for running on linux/mac (though unfortunately it requires WX-Python which can't run on a raspberry pi).

Installing the GUI

Windows;

Download the latest version from Pigrow Windows Remote

NOTE : The new gui is a work in progress so you'll need to download pigrow_remote_4_9b.zip to use some of the features which have yet to be ported over into the new system (Graphs and Timelapse) these will be added soon.

Linux/Mac;

clone the git repo onto your local system using the command

 git clone https://github.com/Pragmatismo/Pigrow.git 

the original gui can be run with

 python3 ~/Pigrow/scripts/gui/pigrow_remote.py

depending on your system it might tell you that you need to install dependencies, on ubuntu you're probably best off installing WX using apt rather than pip,

apt install **(look up current package name for wx python, its one of the gtk ones)**  

the new version of the app can be run with;

 python3 ~/Pigrow/scripts/gui/test/test_gui.py

Pigrow base install on Raspberry Pi

Open the gui, go to system tab and press install pigrow.

Adding new install items

I'm currently writing the new install process so will update this with full instructions when it's done.
