Tutorial
The host device will need a web browser and a Secure Shell (SSH) application. For some operating systems, a Zeroconf Browser is needed. Refer to the table.
| OS | SSH | ZeroConf Browser |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Putty | Bonjour Browser |
| Mac | (included) | (not required) |
| Linux | (included) | avahi-discover (not required) |
| IOS | Termius | (not required) |
| Android | JuiceSSH | ZeroConf Browser (optional) |
Find the link on the Comitup Home Page for the download links. You may need a Bittorrent Client for the download.
Once the image is downloaded, use an unzip utility to restore the original image.
The microSD card must be larger than 4GB.
For Windows, this is covered in the Raspberry Pi Quick Start Guide, steps 3 & 4.
The Raspberry Pi Website has copying instructions for Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.
Insert the microSD card into the Raspberry Pi 3, and apply power. The first boot will take a couple of minutes, while the system makes some initial configuration changes.
Using a Wifi-enabled computer, smart phone, or tablet, view a list of available Wifi Access Points. You should see one named 'comitup-' followed by 4 digits. Connect to this Hotspot.
While connected to the Comitup Access Point, browse to http://comitup.local (or to 'http://10.42.0.1', if that doesn't work). You should see a list of available Access Points. Select one, enter a password if necessary, and click on 'Connect'.
Connect you computer/phone/tablet to the same Access Point. Use a Zeroconf Browser to identify the Raspberry Pi IP address. Use SSH to open a terminal session.
A good first step at this point is to update your operating system to the latest packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Enjoy!
