How to install RoLink

bash <(curl -s https://rolink.network/install.sh)

Steps to install RoLinkX Dashboard

1. Clone to your device ( git clone https://github.com/yo6nam/RoLinkX-Dashboard )
2. Change dir to RoLinkX-Dashboard ( cd RoLinkX-Dashboard/ )
3. Execute setup.sh ( sudo ./setup.sh )
   

Or, single line :

git clone https://github.com/yo6nam/RoLinkX-Dashboard;cd RoLinkX-Dashboard/;sudo ./setup.sh

Or, using RoLink init script:

/opt/rolink/scripts/init dash

How to update

Use the "Update Dashboard" button from the Config page (most convenient) or execute the installation steps
If you've kept the cloned folder (it's usually in %home% directory), use

cd ~/RoLinkX-Dashboard/;git pull;sudo ./setup.sh

Some basic checks and automagic mods are applied by the setup script but please note
"Network Manager WILL BE disabled"

Once installed, open a browser and access :
http://device_hostname/rolink --or-- http://<device_ip>/rolink

You should be greeted with something like this

Desktop	Mobile

Page previews

On a fresh OS install you will need to reboot about three times :

1. After RoLink (custom precompiled SVXLink) client installation & if the sound card is not configured
2. If Network Manager is found to be enabled and running upon executing setup.sh
3. After saving your first pair of SSID/Key using the Wi-Fi page

Notes

1. For SA818_V5.x FW version (check with AT+VERSION command) the serial port will only work after a cold boot and stop responding after a reboot. A cause/fix remains to be determined.
   Solution : Shut down, remove power from OrangePi for a few sconds, power up and try programming the SA818 module.

2. Converting the File System to read-only state can be achieved using the "Make FS read-only" button from the Config page or by using the RoLink installation script (Option #5)

Good luck!
