Script for installing Pimatic and its Dependencies on a fresh Raspbian

---

I just quickly tested it and the one thing I noticed is pimatic won’t start and begin the installation of sqlite.
This is caused by the default config.json, it has no password so pimatic doesn’t start.

thx for testing and reporting!!
hm… that’s strange. usually the script will ask for the password and will “sed” it into the default config. could still be buggy. i’m having a closer look at this later

ok, fixed the password query.
maybe you’ll find the time to test again

Confirmed, password is now asked however the config.json was not changed, going to try again could be a screwup of myself.
It doesn’t show any *** or something and the cursor doesn’t move is that easy to change?

ok, guess i found the error.
you can change line 109 and 110 in the script as follows :

data=$(dialog --backtitle "Pimatic Homeautomation System Installer v$VER - $date" --insecure --passwordbox "Enter your admin password" 10 30 3>&1- 1>&2- 2>&3-)
sudo sed -i "s/\"password\": \"\"/\"password\": \"$data\"/g" /home/pi/pimatic-app/config.json

the insecure option will then show asterisk * when typing the password.
will change it now and test.

edit : seems to run now. was able to install and set the admin pwd. git is up to date now.

it works, typing a password gives **** and the password is added to the config.json
Arduino is flashed with homeduino aswell

thx a lot for testing.
will create a quick tutorial
