## Installation on RaspberryPi

### Installing the Photobooth package

```sh
$ sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y autoremove
$ sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip python3-pyqt5 libgphoto2-dev
$ sudo pip install photobooth[dslr,rpi]
```

Start the photobooth with

```sh
$ photobooth -c <path/to/photobooth_config.ini>-d <path/to/dslr_config.ini>
```

### Installing the window manager, if using Raspbian Lite

1. Install Packages

   ```
   $ sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg x11-xserver-utils xinit openbox

   $ sudo apt-get install -y unclutter
   ```

   The package unclutter is optional. It will prevent showing the mouse curser.

1. Change the `.xinitrc` file by adding the following line

   ```
   exec openbox-session
   ```

1. Create the `autostart` file unter `~/.config/openbox/autostart`

   ```
   setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

   xset s noblank
   xset s off
   xset -dpms

   unclutter -idle 0.5 -root &

   photobooth -c <path/to/photobooth_config.ini> -d <path/to/dslr_config.ini>
   ```

   Remarks:

   - If you like to show the mouse curser remove `unclutter -idle 0.5 -root &`
   - If you like to use the default configuration remove the options `-c` and `-d`.

1. Start the photobooth with

   ```sh
   $ startx
   ```

1. If you like to autostart the photobooth add the following line to `~/.bash_profile` and enable auto-login via `raspi-config`
   ```
   startx
   ```
