Chapter 4

Section 4 -- Using the Open APS tools 

Now that you have successfully installed the software tools that will ultimately run your OpenAPS system, you need to learn to actually use those tools.  Before you can do that, you need to create a place to hold all your Open APS files and inner workings.  That place is called a “Repo”  (think repository).  

Step 4.1:  Create a Repo on your RPi2

Type: openaps init myopenaps 

You will see the following response to that command explaining that a repository is being created:

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/pi/myopenaps/.git/

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

fatal: empty ident  <pi@raspberrypi.(none)> not allowed


Next, respond to the command by providing your user email and user name with the commands requested, so type:

git config --global user.email "you@yourdomain"

then type:

git config --global user.name "your github account name"

Step 4.2: Accessing and Working with your “myopenaps” file

Now that you have a Repo set up, you are going to be working within a specific file held in that respository.  That file is called “myopenaps” and you need to go into that file and start working there.  To do that type:

openaps init myopenaps

Next, you want to navigate your terminal to point into your myopenaps file by typing:

cd myopenaps

Now your command line prompt should look like this within terminal:

 pi@raspberrypi ~/myopenaps $
