SINGLE TICKER MINIMUM system specs:

1 Gigahertz CPU / 512 Megabytes RAM / HIGH QUALITY 16 Gigabyte MicroSD card

MUTIPLE TICKERS (slideshow mode) MINIMUM system specs:

4 cores (1 Gigahertz each) CPU / 1 Gigabyte RAM / HIGH QUALITY 16 Gigabyte MicroSD card

#############################################################################################

AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION / UPGRADING

IMPORTANT NOTES: This install script has been designed to run generically on Debian-based systems, but has only been tested on RaspberryPi / DietPi operating systems. For Ticker autostart at system boot, the LXDE Desktop is #REQUIRED# (this is the default desktop on RaspberryPi OS). The ticker can also be manually started (see CONFIGURING AFTER INSTALLATION).

To install / upgrade everything automatically on a RaspberryPi / DietPi device, copy => paste => run the command below in a terminal program (using the 'Terminal' app in the system menu, or over remote SSH), while logged in AS THE USER THAT WILL RUN THE APP (user must have sudo privileges):

wget --no-cache -O TICKER-INSTALL.bash https://tinyurl.com/install-crypto-ticker;chmod +x TICKER-INSTALL.bash;sudo ./TICKER-INSTALL.bash

Follow the prompts, and the automated script will install / upgrade / configure the ticker. KUCOIN MARKETS #WILL NOT WORK# IF YOU DO NOT INSTALL THE TICKER PROPERLY!

#############################################################################################

CONFIGURING AFTER INSTALLATION

Edit the following file in a text editor to switch between different exchanges / crypto assets / base pairings, and to configure settings for slideshow speed / font sizes and colors / background color / vertical position / screen orientation / google font used / monospace emulation:

/home/YOURUSERNAME/slideshow-crypto-ticker/config.js

Example editing config.js in nano by command-line:

nano ~/slideshow-crypto-ticker/config.js

After updating config.js, restart the ticker with this command:

~/ticker-restart

If NOT using x11 as a DISPLAY MANAGER, you can OPTIONALLY include which browser to reload with:

~/ticker-restart chromium

If autostart does not work / is not setup, you can run this command MANUALLY, #AFTER BOOTING INTO THE DESKTOP INTERFACE#, to start Slideshow Crypto Ticker:

~/ticker-start

If you prefer chromium, epiphany, or firefox (chromium is recommended for long term reliability):

~/ticker-start chromium

~/ticker-start epiphany

~/ticker-start firefox

To stop Slideshow Crypto Ticker:

~/ticker-stop

If you have a "goodtft LCD-show" LCD screen and you installed it's drivers, you can now switch between the LCD and your normal monitor by running the command:

~/goodtft-only

#############################################################################################

MANUAL INSTALLATION (IF AUTO-INSTALL SCRIPT FAILS, ETC)...

SUBSTITUTE "YOURUSERNAME" FOR THE USERNAME YOU LOGIN AS ON YOUR SYSTEM.

IMPORTANT NOTES: USE A #FULL# DESKTOP, #NOT# LITE, OR YOU LIKELY WILL HAVE SOME ISSUES EVEN AFTER UPGRADING TO GUI (trust me). If your system is NOT RaspberryPi OS, or you are logged in / running as a user other than 'pi', just substitute that username in place of the 'YOURUSERNAME' user in references below.

UPGRADE NOTES: For v2.13.0 and higher, delete any OLDER install's /scripts/ and /apps/ sub-directories WITHIN the main 'slideshow-crypto-ticker' directory (THESE ARE NO LONGER USED).

Create a new directory / folder named 'slideshow-crypto-ticker' in /home/YOURUSERNAME/ on your RaspberryPi / DietPi device, and put all the app's files and folders into this directory.

Run these commands (logged in as user YOURUSERNAME):

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install xdotool sed -y

chmod -R 755 ~/slideshow-crypto-ticker/bash

ln -s ~/slideshow-crypto-ticker/bash/ticker-restart.bash ~/ticker-restart

ln -s ~/slideshow-crypto-ticker/bash/ticker-start.bash ~/ticker-start

ln -s ~/slideshow-crypto-ticker/bash/ticker-stop.bash ~/ticker-stop

Create / edit one of the following autostart files (depending if you are running LXDE Desktop, OR [modern raspi os] wayland-based labwc Desktop...create any directories that don't exist yet)...

LXDE:

/home/YOURUSERNAME/.config/lxsession/LXDEPROFILENAME/autostart

IMPORTANT: SUBSTITUTE "LXDEPROFILENAME" FOR THE LXDE PROFILE NAME USED FOR YOUR LXDE SESSION (whatever the sub-folder name is INSIDE: /home/YOURUSERNAME/.config/lxpanel, on raspberry pi os it is: LXDE-pi, default if unknown should be: LXDE).

FIRST, IF THE FILE DOES #NOT# EXIST YET, we need to copy the SYSTEM DEFAULTS over with this command (OR YOU MAY CRASH YOUR DESKTOP!):

cp /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDEPROFILENAME/autostart /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDEPROFILENAME/

NEXT, we add the ticker autostart command at the end of the autostart file:

@/home/YOURUSERNAME/slideshow-crypto-ticker/bash/bootup-auto-start.bash chromium

Wayland/labwc:

/home/YOURUSERNAME/.config/labwc/autostart

Create a blank file, if it does not already exist.

NEXT, we add the ticker autostart command at the end of the autostart file:

bash /home/YOURUSERNAME/slideshow-crypto-ticker/bash/bootup-auto-start.bash chromium 2>&1 &

IMPORTANT NOTE ON ABOVE CONFIGS:

After creating the appropriate autostart file above, the ticker will run on system startup when you login / auto-login to the Desktop. Chromium can be changed to epiphany or firefox if desired, but chromium is USUALLY the most reliable.

Add this as a cron job every minute, by creating the following file (you'll need sudo/root permissions): /etc/cron.d/ticker and add the following line (and a carriage return AFTER it to be safe):

* YOURUSERNAME /bin/bash /home/YOURUSERNAME/slideshow-crypto-ticker/bash/cron/cron.bash > /dev/null 2>&1

If your system DOES NOT have /etc/cron.d/ on it, then NEARLY the same format (minus the username) can be installed via the 'crontab -e' command (logged in as the user you want running the cron job):

* /bin/bash /home/YOURUSERNAME/slideshow-crypto-ticker/bash/cron/cron.bash > /dev/null 2>&1

IMPORTANT CRON JOB NOTES: MAKE SURE YOU ONLY USE EITHER /etc/cron.d/, or 'crontab -e', NOT BOTH...ANY OLD DUPLICATE ENTRIES WILL RUN YOUR CRON JOB TOO OFTEN.

When you've finished setting up everything, reboot to activate the ticker with this command: sudo reboot
