* Set WMATA_API_KEY
* Install Python dependencies
* Install Python code
* Set to run on boot
* Test
AUTO LOGIN:
```
sudo vi /etc/inittab
```
Find:
```
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty —noclear 38400 tty1
```
comment it out #
Add below:
```
1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f pi tty1 /dev/tty1 2>&1
```
Save, exit, reboot to check
CONFIGURE WIFI:
(assuming root login, pi booted with wifi adapter plugged in)
```
vi /etc/network/interfaces
```
Should look like:
```
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
```
Save and exit.
(assuming root login)
```
vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
```
assuming WPA2 setup...
```
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid=“NETWORK SSID"
psk=“NETWORK PASSWORD"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
}
```
Save, exit reboot
Once rebooted, test:
```
ping google.com
```
Should return pings.
SET WMATA API KEY
As root:
```
vi ~/.profile
```
Add line at the bottom:
```
export WMATA_API_KEY=your_api_key
```
Save and exit.
Reboot. When logged in as root test, by:
```
echo $WMATA_API_KEY
```
Should return your key.
INSTALL PYTHON DEPENDENCIES:

INSTALL PYTHON CODE:
(as root)
```
cd
git clone https://github.com/simonprickett/nextmetro.git
```
TEST:

(as root)
```
cd ~/nextmetro
python nextmetro.py
```
AUTO RUN ON BOOT:
