Below is too brief and might even be out of date

Current correct installation, SUPER brief:

cd ~
mkdir TagTracker
cd TagTracker
git clone https://github.com/ironwoodcall/TagTracker . 
cp tt_conf_template.py tt_conf.py
edit (vi or pico or whatever works for you)  tt_conf.py
chmod +x update startup
python3 TagTracker.py # to create the tags.txt file
edit (with whatever) tags.txt

add ~/TagTracker to your PATH

This is the setup section from the original README.MD and is just here for historic reference:

  1. Put all TagTracker files into the folder you want to use them in.
  2. Run TagTracker once to generate 'logs' folder and .cfg's, and close it.
  3. Populate .cfg files as directed by their headers:
  • the first letter of each tag name should represent what colour the tag is, ie 'wa4' is a white tag. This makes auditing the records easier because the program can group tags by colour. Make sure to list each abbreviation you're using in the "Tag Colour Abbreviations.cfg"
  • for me 'normal' tags means bikes that can easily be lifted and hung by their seat on a rack, ie the majority of bikes
  • 'oversize' bikes means anything too big or heavy to be reasonably racked, ie e-bikes, bikes with trailers, etc
  • 'retired' tags is anything that WAS in use, but has been taken out of service (missing, damaged, etc). These will trigger a specific message to be printed letting the user know the tag is retired rather than just invalid.
  1. Park some bikes! (5. If you want, you can change some style options in TrackerConfig.py)
