 	scan_ssid=1
 	ssid="MyNetworkSSID" #enter your network SSID
 	psk="Pa55w0rd1234"  #enter your Wifi password
	}

4. Insert SD card into Raspberry Pi and boot up

5. Connect to Raspberry Pi using ssh (ssh raspberrypi) username = pi password = raspberry

   Use ifconfig to find the ip addres of your raspberry pi

6. Update the raspian OS

	$sudo apt-get update
	$sudo apt-get upgrade

7. If you want to connect to raspberry pi using vnc, enable it in the configuration

$sudo raspi-config

8. Set static IP address on Pi: Edit the file /etc/dhcpcd.conf $ sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf Add the following lines to the end of the file: interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.1.150 (or whatever address you want to use)

    interface wlan0
    static ip_address=192.168.1.151 (or whatever address you want to use)
   
    static routers=192.168.1.1 (the actual  address of your router)
   

9. Reboot the raspberry pi to make the changes take effect

$sudo reboot

Steps to install Garage Door Program

1. Install WebIOPi

	wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/webiopi/files/webiopi-0.7.1.tar.gz

Unarchive and Install:

		$ tar xvzf WebIOPi-x.y.z.tar.gz
		$ cd WebIOPi-x.y.z
		$ sudo ./setup.sh

2. Install Garage Door Controller: Go to the folder: /home/pi/Projects

              $ cd /home/pi/Projects

Copy the files from GitHub:

             $ git clone https://github.com/swheatma/garagedoor

        This will create a folder called garagedoor in the current folder.
	Notes:
		This should create the html and python sub-folders
		The root folder will contain the config file which will need to be copied as stated below
		The python folder will contain:
			garage.py (the garage controller program)
			script.py (the web interface program)
		The html folder contains index.html for the web interface

3. Copy config file to WebOIPi folder

      $sudo cp /home/pi/Projects/garagedoor/config-garage /etc/webiopi/config

4. Make the program executable:

	$ chmod +x /home/pi/Projects/garagedoor/python/garage.py

5. To start Garage program at startup:

        Option-1:
		Add to LXDE-pi/autostart file
		Add the following line of text to the bottom of: /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
		/home/pi/Projects/garagedoor/python/garage.py
	Option-2:
		Add to crontab
		Edit the crontab file
		$ sudo crontab -e
		add the following line:
		@reboot python /home/pi/Projects/garagedoor/python/garage.py &
		to add a delay before the program starts (recommended)
		@reboot sleep 20 && python /home/pi/Projects/garagedoor/python/garage.py &

6. To start web service at startup:
