3. Install all required packages with `npm i`

4. Run the `setup.js` with `npm run setup` and follow it's instructions

5. Run the main script with `node .`

6. Extra Steps: Run the software in a screen on a raspberry pi and configure it as a service. Read [here](https://medium.com/@benmorel/creating-a-linux-service-with-systemd-611b5c8b91d6) for more information about adding a service
