+0) Install EdgeTPU environment using the supplied instructions (download a python-tflite-source directory and run install. Make sure the demos in that package work, as advertised)
+
+1)	Install additional dependencies for teachable machine:
+
+sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-0 gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-tools python3-gst-1.0 python3-gi
+
+sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2  
+(or better, add “bcm2835-v4l2” to the end of /etc/modules and reboot.)
+
+sudo python3 -m pip install python-periphery
+tar xvzf teachable_rpi3.tgz
+
+2) Test the button UI (ensure cabling is correct)
+
+cd $HOME/teachable/
+sudo python3 teachable.py --testui
+
+If the wiring is correct you should see the 4 LEDs wiggle/flash and then it will run an infinite loop displaying which buttons are pressed. If you press a button the respective LED should light up.
+
+3) Run the teachable machine
+
+cd $HOME/teachable/
+sh run.sh
+
+At first the code will have no examples so no LED shoul dlight up. When you press a single button the code takes a snapshot of the image and it’s embedding (run through the accelerator) and saves it labeling it with that button. THus you have 4 classes you can “teach” tough i usually reserve “red” for background (just press it with nothing held up). THe other three can be used to learn finger shapes, faces, objects etc.
+
+The white button will wipe the memory and reset the state to the beginning.
