Shortcuts

If you know the path already, shortcuts work well.
If you don't, then you take your chances on what lies ahead; it might work. It might not.

A fork in the path lies ahead, there may be a grue, there may not. Choose wisely...

Install Raspian

Install one of the Raspian flavours available at https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ onto the Raspberry Pi's SDCard.

You may find the following script useful to help complete that process, otherwise just follow the directions from the download site.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glennmckechnie/rorpi-raspberrypi/master/helper-scripts/sdcard_write_read_confirm.sh --no-check-certificate

If you run that as an unprivileged user, you'll need to setup sudo permissions. Otherwise user root.

Run bash sdcard_write_read_confirm.sh
Pay close attention to the output of that script. The instructions and cautions are within it, the safety catch is at your fingertips.

Update and install weewx

sudo -i
cd /root   # on your brand new raspberry pi system - untouched until now!
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glennmckechnie/rorpi-raspberrypi/master/helper-scripts/rorpi-preinstall.sh --no-check-certificate

Run bash rorpi-preinstall.sh
Pay attention to the output.

Make the system read-only

sudo -i
cd /root   # on your raspberry pi system - the one you wish to convert to read only
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glennmckechnie/rorpi-raspberrypi/master/helper-scripts/rorpi-readonly.sh --no-check-certificate

way

Run bash rorpi-readonly.sh
Pay attention to the output.

Problems?

Go back and continue reading the wiki notes.

Yep, they are long - for a reason. Take your time, read them with a smile.

No Problems!?

Good! Bonus points!!

But go back and read the wiki notes sometime. Humour me.
