A photobooth application for the Raspberry Pi and the Pi Camera Module.
Navigation
The application has been tested and works on the following configuration:
All three products come with the necesarry pieces to connect them together.
This application has not been tested on other hardware, but I am open to pull requests adding support for them, or simply letting me know this application also works on a different hardware configuration.
- Install a new copy of Raspbery Pi OS Lite (64-bit) on your Raspberry Pi's SD-card
- For convenience, you can change the font size of the terminal using
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup - Enable auto-login on boot:
sudo raspi-config- go to System Options
- go to Boot / Auto Login
- Select Console Auutologin
- Install the photobooth software; either build it from soure or download the latest binary
- Start photobooth at boot:
add the following to the end of ~/.bashrc:
# Replace this with the path to your config file (or comment it out to # not apply any configuration) export PH_CONFIG=config.yaml # Replace this with the path to the photobooth executable # This line will start the application Photobooth
- Reboot the pi:
reboot
Pre-compiled binaries can be found in the the latest release.
You can also use this one-liner to download the latest release:
wget \
"$( \
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/jomy10/photobooth/releases/latest |
jq -r '.assets[] | select(.name=="Photobooth") | .browser_download_url' \
)" -o Photobooth &&
chmod +x PhotoboothThe command requires jq to parse json, which can be downloaded with sudo apt-get install jq
