- Reboot your Raspberry Pi
- Change to the Aquaponic directory. Then update the deploy.sh in the root of the project to your needs. Also change the file app/config/server.js accordingly.
- Enable the needed interfaces (ssh, serial, remote gpio) shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgUM8ulMfHE
- Open a commandline on your Computer and execute ./deploy.sh
- Allow connecting and enter the password of your user pi that you set previously.
- On your Raspberry Pi change to the directory ~/Desktop/Aquaponic and execute ./setup.sh from the commandline.
- Do the wiring of the pump and feeder as described within the Wiring section of this document.
- Now reboot your Raspberry Pi and execute npm install from within the folder ~/Desktop/Aquaponic
- Restart pm2 from the console pm2 restart aquaponic
- Open localhost:8080 on the browser of your Raspberry Pi and check if everything works.
