In your instructions you write:

I think you make it easy for yourself. I'm struggeling with that step. I have no idea how to do this. Could you explain it a little further or show us a link?

Thank you, and thanks for your work.

huberfe,

all you need todo is the execute ui.py and make sure that particular font you use is in the directory.

Thank you for answering, sorry for my rough sounding before. I love your work and was a little under time presure when i wrote the lines above.

What i was looking for is a for noob (such as i am) designd guide

"mkdir /example/folder wget http://......... UI wget http://..... Font screen sudo python /exampla/folder/ui.py"

because with the instruction you gave above i was not able to do it. Like i as UNIX noob tried to create a pimusicbox-folder within root, i even downloaded every single file of your repository inside that folder, tried to run the ui.py but then i was logged out of putty and my tft-screen and the attached monitor on the raspberry pi stayed the same .... Checking if the folder still is there (ls -a) it wasn't. Maybe you can help me, it seems to me, that you are totally aware of what needs to be done, but for me it isn't like in what folder do i need to download those files.

Hi huberfe,

that project does not belong to me. The owner is the repository-owner not me.

It would be better if you would provide an error message or describe your problem.

Sorry, for the confusion

The thing is, i'm not even sure that i get those files. So if i execute the sudo command, nothing (but a critical error) happens.

Could you provide me how you downloaded all those files and where did you put them?

To be sure to start in the home directory do cd ~

Then download the following for cloning the git: apt-get install git-core

After installing clone the git: git clone https://github.com/ISO-B/pmb-pitft.git

Now there should be a pmb-pitft folder start the program: python /root/pmb-pitft/pmb-pitft/ui.py

Hope it helps!
