Raspberry Pi installation with GUI:
- Sign in at https://nuxbot.com/account/.
- Go to https://nuxbot.com/account/downloads/ and click the download button for Raspberry Pi (nuxBot-VX-RaspberryPi).
- Wait for the ZIP file to install.
- Open the ZIP file and drag the contents to another folder.
- Open Terminal and navigate to the new folder.
- Command: cd /path/to/folder
- Alternative: In the folder: Right-click and click “Open in Terminal”.
- Now you should be in the folder where the nuxBot executable is.
In the terminal, type “sudo chmod +x nuxBot” to give nuxBot permissions, so you can start nuxBot. - Now enter “./nuxBot” in the terminal to start nuxBot.
Finished. 🙂
Raspberry Pi installation without GUI:
- Sign in at https://nuxbot.com/account/ on your current PC.
- Go to https://nuxbot.com/account/downloads/ and click the download button for Raspberry Pi (nuxBot-VX-RaspberryPi).
- Wait for the ZIP file to install.
- Extract the ZIP and transfer the extracted data to your server using FTP software such as WinSCP (WinSCP is Windows only).
- Now on your server: Open your terminal and navigate to the folder where the extracted data is located. To do this, enter “cd path/to/folder”.
- Type “sudo chmod +x nuxBot” to grant nuxBot permissions so that you can start nuxBot.
- Now enter “./nuxBot” in the terminal to start nuxBot. It may well be that nuxBot crashes directly (because of the GUI since there is most likely no desktop available on a headless server) since headless is still set to “False”.
- On your PC: Using FTP software, open the “config.ini” file created after starting nuxBot and set “headless” to “True” under the “gui” category. Pay attention to upper and lower case. Then save the file.
- Go back to your server and type “./nuxBot” in the terminal to start nuxBot.
Since you most likely want to change the config, you can do this via FTP by opening the “config.ini” file and changing the variables manually, or you install nuxBot for your current operating system on your PC, use the GUI to fill out everything, press save and then replace the config on your server with the config on your PC. If you save or replace the file, then nuxBot will automatically reload the config in headless mode, so you don’t have to restart nuxBot.
Now you are done. 🙂
