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).
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.
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)**
the new version still in the testing phase can be run with;
python3 ~/Pigrow/scripts/gui/test/test_gui.py
Open the gui, go to system tab and press install pigrow.
(Adding new install items)[https://github.com/Pragmatismo/Pigrow/wiki/Install_items]
I'm currently writing the new install process so will update this with full instructions when it's done.
