  1. Install prerequisites for compiling packages

    Code Block
    raspberrypi:/home/pi/SiteController-install# apt-get install python-dev
  2. Install mosquitto, create a mosquitto group and user.

    Info

    The default mosquitto package in the raspbian repositories is before version 1.0. You must add the special mosquitto.org repository to retrieve the latest debian package (version 1.4 or higher). The next step is a short version of the full instructions, taken from mosquitto.org, which you can find here.

    Code Block
    root@raspberrypi:~# wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
    root@raspberrypi:~# sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
    root@raspberrypi:~# cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
    root@raspberrypi:~# wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-wheezy.list
    root@raspberrypi:~# apt-get update
    root@raspberrypi:~# apt-get install mosquitto

Code Block
raspberrypi:~# sed -i 's/MOSQUITTO_FOLDER=\/opt/MOSQUITTO_FOLDER=\/usr/g' /opt/azeti/SiteController/SiteController.conf

Starting the system

  1. Start the SiteController, it will start the mosquitto automatically if necessary 

    Code Block
    raspberrypi:~# /opt/azeti/SiteController/run_SiteController.py start
    Tip

    Please stay 2 minutes in the terminal after the start of the site controller. If there is a problem in the system the modules will launch an exception. If no exception came in 2 minutes, the system is up and running with no issues.

  2. Once everything is started, you can use the following command to check that all modules are up and running:
    1. SiteController Status, note that required modules should be marked green and running
