====== 2.2 Setup on a pre-installed Pi or PC ======

if you already have a Pi or PC with a Linux-OS in one of following flavours, you can use that installation for the FMList-scanner

  * Debian
  * Ubuntu
  * Raspbian
  * Raspberry Pi OS

in any case, it is recommended to setup a new user - to allow a clean uninstall.
we suggest the user //scanner//

<code>
sudo useradd -s /bin/bash -m scanner
sudo passwd scanner
</code>


for access to the GPIO pins, gpsd control and probably for something else, the new user will need //sudo// rights.

<code>
sudo nano /etc/sudoers.d/010_scanner-nopasswd
</code>

enter a line with
<code>
scanner ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
</code>
then save and close the editor nano.

alternatively use the following command
<code>
echo "scanner ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" |sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/010_scanner-nopasswd
</code>

//note:// in theory, the scanner might run without sudo rights, but i don't remember having tested this. please report if you try this


with //sudo// rights, you can quickly change to that user
<code>
sudo su -l scanner
</code>
