Installation: So far this program assumes you can somehow manage to download nodejs 8 and also the npm packages commander and underscore, which are required for this program to run properly.
1. Install node 8
> curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
> sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
2. Clone this repo then cd into ip directory to install the npm packages
> git clone https://github.com/snazzybunny/ip.git
> cd ip
3. Install npm packages called commander and underscore
> sudo npm install
or manually install each one
> sudo npm install commander
> sudo npm install underscore
4. Figure out hostname of rpi. Output should print raspberrypi by default.
> hostname
5. Test the program by changing hostname to ole.
> sudo node cli.js rename ole
6. Output should be like:
> pi@raspberrypi:~/ip $ cat /etc/hostname
> ole
Additional Notes:
wifi - ESSID is the SSID or the network name of your wireless network and password is the password
for the corresponding network.
rename - The hostname is a label assigned to the RPI device for identification on a network and
is useful for communication amongst different devices. The default hostname is raspberrypi.
ethernet and staticwifi - before using these command, I checked that my network follows the ip range from
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254. To change my ip address to 192.168.0.251, I can
issue the command below given that my router is found at 192.168.0.1 and
that it is also a dns server. Alternatively, you can use Google's dns server,
which is 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.
> ethernet 192.168.0.251 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1
hotspot - requires the packages hostapd dnsmasq. Do a sudo apt install hostapd dnsmasq to install them.
