#### Prerequisites
Ensure npm is able to build any binary modules it needs to install.
```
sudo apt-get install build-essential
```

### Install Node-RED
#### Download and installation
To install Node.js, npm and Node-RED onto a Raspberry Pi, run the following command will that download and install them:
```
To install Node.js, npm and Node-RED onto a Raspberry Pi, you just need to run the following command. You can review the content of this script [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered).
```sh
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
```
Due to the limited memory of the Raspberry Pi, you will need to start Node-RED with an additional argument to tell the underlying Node.js process to free up unused memory sooner than it would otherwise.
```
node-red-pi --max-old-space-size=256
```
Type `y` at both prompts to accept the installation and its settings.
#### Autostart on boot
Run Node-RED when the Pi is turned on, or re-booted, enable the service to autostart by running the command:
#### Enable start on boot and launch Node-RED
To run Node-RED when the Pi is turned on or restarted, you need to enable the systemd service by running this command:
```sh
sudo systemctl enable nodered.service
```
#### Check the installation
Make sure NodeRed is correctly installed by reaching the following page from the broswer of your pi : http://localhost:1880.
#### Install few nodes
These nodes will be used in Node-RED:
You can now start Node-RED by running the following:
```sh
sudo systemctl start nodered.service
```
cd .node-red/
npm install node-red-dashboard
npm install node-red-contrib-python3-function
npm install node-red-contrib-camerapi
npm install node-red-contrib-gpsd
npm install node-red-contrib-web-worldmap
#### Check the installation
Make sure Node-RED is correctly installed by reaching the following page from the browser of your pi http://localhost:1880 or http://planktoscope.local:1880 from another computer on the same network.
#### Install the necessary nodes
These nodes will be used by the PlanktoScop software and needs to be installed:
```sh
cd ~/.node-red/
npm install node-red-dashboard node-red-contrib-python3-function node-red-contrib-camerapi node-red-contrib-gpsd node-red-contrib-web-worldmap node-red-contrib-interval
sudo systemctl restart nodered.service
```
#### Import the last GUI
Import the lastest version of the GUI from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpollina/PlanktonScope/master/scripts/flows_planktonscope.json>
From Node-RED gui in your browser, choose the Hamburger menu top right, and then Import. You can paste the code directly from the lastest version of the GUI available [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpollina/PlanktonScope/blob/master/flows/main.json).
