Steps for nodescan on RPi

Steps for setting up a remote scanner on Raspberry Pi device

### Step 1: Flash the OS image on your SD card ###
1) Download the OS: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-raspberry-pi-educational-linux-distro/occidentalis-v0-dot-2
2) Flash the image: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md


### Step 2: Connect to your RPi via USB ###
1) Connect the ttl cable as such: http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alpha-crucis.com%2F4033-7353-thickbox%2Fusb-to-ttl-serial-cable-debug-console-cable-for-raspberry-pi.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alpha-crucis.com%2Ffr%2Fprototypage-composants%2F4033-usb-to-ttl-serial-cable-debug-console-cable-for-raspberry-pi-3700386509544.html&h=600&w=600&tbnid=w0M34JjabSsAUM%3A&zoom=1&docid=oCrHBIXe81wQrM&ei=-uc8VOPwGdP1aoiKgqgL&tbm=isch&client=safari&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1311&page=1&start=0&ndsp=27&ved=0CCMQrQMwAQ

2) Download cable driver on your computer: http://www.adafruit.com/product/954

3) Access RPi: screen /dev/cu.PL2303-00001014 115200


### Step 3: Set up WiFi connection on your RPi ###
1) https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-3-network-setup/setting-up-wifi-with-occidentalis

2) Connect via wifi: ssh [email protected]

### Step 4: Configure getmail ###
https://www.linode.com/docs/email/clients/retrieving-email-using-getmail

mkdir -p ~/scanMail
mkdir cur tmp new sent
mkdir sent/cur sent/new sent/tmp
mkdir ~/.getmail
nano ~/.getmail/getmailrc


[retriever]
type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
server = imap.gmail.com
mailboxes = ("Inbox",)
username = yourgmailuser
password = yourpassword

[destination]
type = Mboxrd
path = ~/mail.mbox

[options]
verbose = 2
message_log = ~/.getmail/log

# do not alter messages
delivered_to = false
received = false

# retrieve only new messages
# if set to true it will re-download ALL messages every time!
read_all = false

### Step 6: Mutt ###
1) get mutt:
sudo apt-get install mutt

2) configure mutt
nano .muttrc
"
# Basic .muttrc for use with gmail

# IMAP settings are not use since the mail retrieving operation is performed by getmail
#set imap_user = "[email protected]"
#set imap_pass = "PASSWORD"
set smtp_url = "smtp://[email protected]:587/"
set smtp_pass = "iSendScans"
set from = "[email protected]"
set realname = "BxNode Scan"
set record = "~/scanMail/sent"
"

### Step 5: Get nodescan scripts from Github ###
git clone https://github.com/anthill/nodescan.git

### Step X: Some configuration tips ###
1) Expand partition: sudo raspi-config -> expand_rootfs

2) Change pi user password: sudo raspi-config -> change_pass

3) Change RPi name
