To Install Yourself: (Note: This is a complicated install. For beginners and advanced beginners, you are better off buying a configured SD Card from shop.switchdoc.com)
This is a Python3 program. All libraries need to be in python3.

Installation

1) Install MariaDB on Raspberry Pi

2) Read in the SmartGarden3.sql file into the database sudo mysql -u root < SmartGarden3.sql

3) Install python apscheduler

sudo pip3 install apscheduler

4) Install dash libraries (there are a bunch of them).

sudo pip3 install dash
sudo pip3 install dash-bootstrap-components
sudo pip3 install plotly

5) Install remi libraries

sudo pip3 install remi

6) Install SG3 git clone github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Pi_SmartGarden3

Depending on your system, you may have other missing files. See the information printed out when your SG3.py software starts and install the missing librarys.

Note: Why don't we supply exact installation procedures? The reason is is they are different for every distribution on the Raspberry Pi and developers are continuously changing them.

From our customer frenchi, he has summarized installation instructions:

I just followed the instructions from Raspberry using the Raspberry Pi imager App -- it reformats the SD Card which simply allow the Pi4 to reload its boot sw.

After sudo apt-get -y update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade

Note I placed all the SDL software in a directory called SwitchDoc :-)
