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 linux/mac versions (though unfortunately it can't run on a raspberry pi).

Installing the GUI

Windows;

Download the latest version from Pigrow Windows Remote

The new gui is a work in progress so you'll need to download pigrow_remote_4_9b.zip to use the old install method, this will be updated very soon.

The most recent test version, test_guiWin_005.zip, has expanded features but the install is currently not enabled - it will be enabled in the next one.

Both can be used at the same time without any problems, the latter lacks graphs and timelapse tools as well as a few other minor things but all these are in the process of being added to the new gui.

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

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)**  

Pigrow base installed on Raspberry Pi

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