As part of my smart-cam simulation project I have installed web2py and Apache on a Raspberry Pi, the idea here is to simulate the ARM platform on which the smart-cam web UI software will eventually run by using the Pi until the real hardware is sorted out and available. This will allow me to do some proof-of-concept software development sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

I was expecting a difficult enough install but it turned out to be very easy, I just executed the automated set-up script that is documented here<\/a>, under the section called ‘One step production deployment’ (ubuntu).<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

To summarise the steps, with the Pi connected to the network, open a terminal window and execute the following:<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

[code]
\nwget http:\/\/web2py.googlecode.com\/hg\/scripts\/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
\nchmod +x setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
\nsudo .\/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Running setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh took a good while (15 mins?), but when it was complete I was immediately able to view the web2py welcome page from another computer on the network! <\/p>\n
