+# Welcome
+
+### This project is a Door access system built on RPIs
+
+#### Getting Started
+
+1) Start by installing the latest version of raspianOS on your Raspberry Pi
+   1) Get Raspberry Pi Imager from the web
+   2) Launch it
+   3) Choose your model
+   4) Choose OS (Raspberry PI OS 64-bit)
+   5) Select your SD card
+   6) Press Ctrl+Shift+X
+   7) Set a hostname
+   8) Set a username and password
+   9) Set locale settings
+   10) Press Save
+   11) Press the "Next" button
+   12) Continue through any further prompts, keeping all settings that were set
+2) Boot the Raspberry Pi
+3) Open a command prompt on a seperate computer
+4) Ping the hostname set in 1.vii to find the IPv4 address (might need `-4` flag)
+5) SSH into the RPI (Raspberry Pi)
+6) run `git clone https://gitea.eggtech.net/eggman20339/CNSA-276-FP.git`
+7) run `sudo chmod 777 CNSA/CNSA-276-FP/install.sh && ./CNSA/CNSA-276-FP/install.sh`
+8) The script should take care of the rest, the RPI will restart and then auto start the program
+9) after reboot, to edit the config, SSH back in and navigate to `/CNSA/CNSA-276-FP/`
+10) run `nano config.ini`
+11) alter any config needed
