Intial Raspberry Pi Setup Instructions
- Change the hostname to TIMMS-SN00XXX. Example for TIMMS with a serial number SN00200 in the command line use “sudo vi /etc/hostname TIMMS-SN00200” without parentheses “sudo vi etc/hostname TIMMS-SN00200”.
- Alternate Method:
- use command “sudo raspi-config”
- select “System Options”
- select “Hostname”
- Follow prompts and reboot (You will be prompted to do so.)
- After reboot, you can check that the hostname changed with the command “hostname” , which will return the hostname of your Raspberry Pi
- Update the base raspberry pi software using the command “sudo apt-get update” to check available updates then “sudo apt upgrade” to perform the updates. Example: sudo apt-get update
- Uninstall and reinstall anydesk via the link https://anydesk.com/en/downloads/linux.
- Uninstall: type command “dpkg -l” into command line, and find anydesk. If you are able to find it (meaning it is downloaded to your Raspberry Pi, type command “sudo apt remove anydesk” into command line to uninstall
- Note: to exit the application list and return to terminal prompt, type “q”
- Reinstall: go to link and download for Raspberry Pi, then go to your file directory under “Downloads” and right click on the anydesk zip file to install
- Note: It may ask you for a password. If it does, reset your password in command line using command “sudo passwd” and then reboot with “sudo reboot”. Then, try to install again.
- Set Password to standard password (if you don't know the standard password ask Dr. Delene).
- Add the sourceforge ADPAA repository to the raspberry pi home directory.
- Setup crontab to reboot each day. See https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=126106
