Setup CryptoPi Display with Raspberry Pi

In order to run the software required to display the price of Bitcoin you will first need to make sure you have Git installed on your Raspberry Pi.

In order to install Git on the Raspberry Pi, simply run the following in the terminal:

$ sudo apt-get install git

Next we are going to clone my repository named cryptopi from Github:

$ git clone https://github.com/ryanwa18/cryptopi.git

Next we are going to change directory into the newly cloned repository:

$ cd cryptopi

Lastly we are going to start the program to display the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum:

$ python display_price.py
