A more detailed installation procedure? #63

Open DWomack opened 2 years ago

DWomack commented 2 years ago

I have a pi with a fresh install of the latest version.

What do I need to do to install and then run this script?

I can run pip3 and, after a while, it returns a string of command line options.

I am a noob at python.

Have you looked at this...

I have been running it for 3 months. It works with any ISP.

My TMHI was terrible during the day until about 3 weeks ago. Speeds are not great but very usable.

Thanks for sharing your work.

@DWomack I am running it on a pi at my house.

Grab the latest release I extracted it to my home directory on the pi Go into that new directory pip3 install -e .

That should get you started. I set up the .env file to store settings. Then I use crontab -e to run it every 3 minutes.

/3 * python3 /home/pi/tmo-monitor-2.0.0-beta4/bin/tmo-monitor.py

I also set up a log in /var/log/ That is all documented in the readme.

Let me know if you need any more help.
