WARNING:

This script has only been tested on Raspberry Pi 2 & 3. 1st generation & Pi Zero is yet to be tested.
Please use the latest version of Raspbian available. Download Raspbian here.

After running the script you need to set a static IP address. This can be done by getting your current IP address using:

hostname -I

Then type:

sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

And at the end of the file, add ip=YOUR_IP_HERE followed by the your current IP address.
Once finished, reboot your Pi using:

sudo reboot
