Downloading scripts

How to easily download scripts to your Pi:

Find the location on github, and click "RAW". For example, we will download the LED script... you can find any other file, folder (zip), etc and use wget in a similar fashion

Copy the URL into your computer, SSH into the Pi and move to the directory of your choice... now type wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/avipars/pi-starter-code/refs/heads/main/led.sh and it will save the new file as led.sh!

Move files between your Pi and Windows:

On the target machine, type something with this format:

scp user@ip:/dir1/file "C:\temp\dir1"

SCP (secure copy) On the left side is the remote machine with the file we want. The right side is the current machine which is going to save the file in the temp directory, you should change this accordingly. Change user to the Pi username, ip to the IP of the Pi, and the directory structure leading to the file needs to be changed accoridng to where the file is located.

Now paste your new command into CMD/Terminal and you will be prompted for the remote machine password... then the file transfer will begin. After it is done, you will be able to find the file!

If the script ends with .sh, it means it's a shell script, and you need to grant executable permissions to run it (chmod +x script.sh)

• Please read the code before you run it, make sure it isn't nefarious.
