Install

Prerequisites

You must have:

• git
• Linux

Install

Open up a console window (your home directory is fine).

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/firepick1/firenodejs
cd firenodejs
scripts/install.sh

Play

Open up a console window in the firenodejs directory and let's launch firenodejs:

node js/server.js

Open up a browser to see the firenodejs web page. Here we assume that you have installed on a Raspberry Pi:

• http://raspberrypi:8080/

The firenodejs server automatically maintains a model of the FireStep controller state that you can view quickly:

• http://raspberrypi:8080/firestep/model

The firenodejs server provides access to your Raspberry Pi camera:

• http://raspberrypi:8080/camera/image.jpg

Congratulations! You're DONE.
