These are some notes on getting some of Dave Winer’s web tools that use node<\/strong> running on a Raspberry pi.<\/p>\n

I’d originally posted these on the pi, but the SD card was corrupted and I’d no back up (I’ve had that lesson a few times).<\/p>\n

These note are not likely to be of interest to many and are somewhat abrupt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are probably many ways to do this but this fits my situation. I have a computer, I don’t have a spare monitor to use with the PI and it is too much hassle to plug int into the tv and a keyboard every time I want to change something on a PI.<\/p>\n

So I play on the pi via the command line and secure shell from the terminal app on my mac.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/h3>\n

You need to be a wee bit familiar with the command line. There are many guides to that here is one<\/a><\/p>\n

I run these on a Model B Rev 2 512MB pi. But to write these notes I’ve redone some of the setup on a Pi Zero v1.3 which also has 512MB ram.<\/p>\n

I also needed a Wifi dongle, and MicroUSB > USB adapter to fit it and a power supply. The Zero W would be a better cheapest choice.<\/p>\n

You need a computer, I use a mac and the terminal app, you can, I believe, use PuTTY – Wikipedia<\/a> on windows. Linux, of course comes with a terminal too. I’ve never changed from the BASH shell that is the default on my mac.<\/p>\n

Basic set up and connection<\/h3>\n

I followed these guides from for the initial setup.<\/p>\n
