sudo apt-get install git-all -y

git version

Clone GIT repro

cd Desktop

git clone https://github.com/Boisti13/MECSware_Interface

or

git clone https://gitlab.rhrk.uni-kl.de/kolbgrun/MECSware_Interface

cd MECSware_Interface

check if repro was cloned

ls

chmod +x setup.sh

Execute the scrip

./setup.sh

Change display system from Wayland to X11

sudo raspi-config

Run MECSware GUI

python3 MECSware_GUI.py

Setup static IP for interface eth0

Check which interface you want to use to connect the BS-114 system

ifconfig

open the interface config

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

add the following

iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.1.1

restart "networking"

sudo service networking restart

If neccessary, disable and enable eth0 (static setup on eth0, connected to BS-114)
