setup

1. $cd virtualenv && virtualenv -p python3 env --no-site-packages to prep all dependencies in project
2. start virtual environment $cd ../ && source virtualenv/env/bin/activate (see: http://sourabhbajaj.com/mac-setup/Python/virtualenv.html)
3. If setting up rPi, be ready to get some coffee. This next step takes a bit to install. (~15mins)
4. go fetch all python dependencies $pip install -r virtualenv/requirements.txt
5. $python3 start.py

helpful tips with setup

• connect mac to pi file system for editing (see: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/sshfs.md)
• stop virtual environment $deactivate
• freeze new dependencies while virtual environment is active (see setup #3) in virtualenv/env/ folder $pip freeze --local > ../requirements.txt
