How to set up a Raspberry Pi to use as a Subsurface downloader 1) Get an image file for RaspianPi 2) Set up your local network according to https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/headless.md You also need to create a file named "ssh" in the boot partition to enable the ssh server. Set the hostname to subsurfacepi 3) apt-get install some more packages. On my pi, the packages listed in downloader_packages are installed, you can install them with sudo xargs -a downloader_packages apt install 4) Clone the subsurface repository and build it as for any Debian based system: Run build.sh, then cd to the build directory, run ccamke . and select SUBSURFACE_TARGET_EXECUTABLE as DownloaderExecutable and make once more 5) Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf ScriptAlias /pi-cgi-bin/ /home/pi/cgi-bin/ AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Require all granted AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all and restart apache2 6) copy ~/src/subsurface/scripts/downloader.pl to /usr/lib/cgi-bin and run sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/downloader.pl It should then be there when you direct your browser to subsurfacepi.local/cgi-bin/downloader.pl 7) Give the www user access to the serial interface sudo adduser pi dialout and restart apache2 8) Create a directory to store the data sudo mkdir /opt/ssrf/ sudo touch /opt/ssrf/ssrf.conf sudo chown -R www-data.www-data /opt/ssrf 9) If you want to use the pi with an iPhone where the iPhone provides the internet connectivity, follow https://gist.github.com/antronic/157e047cdefa98b3150195c2eacb56b8
