⚙️ Installation

💻 One-Step Automated Install

Those who want to get started quickly and conveniently may install Pi-Control 🥷 using the following command/script:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/borsTiHD/pi-control/main/installer/basic-install.sh | sudo bash

The script checks all needed dependencies and will ask you if you want to install an additional service.
With the service you can control the app: sudo service picontrol (start|stop|status)

🤓 Alternative Install Method

Download the latest version from releases: Release / Download
Create and change to the subdirectory /opt/pi-control.
Extract the archive and install dependencies with yarn install.

$ cd /opt/pi-control
$ yarn install # or npm install
$ sudo yarn start # or sudo npm start

This way you need to manually start the app with the sudo yarn start command.
You can also take care of your own way of running the app in the background, etc.
Examples: pm2 ('ecosystem.json' included), node-linux (you can use the script in ./installer/service.cjs), etc.
