1. --First setup your Raspberry Pi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeEU_8HG9l0
2. --Lets upgrade the apt-get program:
sudo apt-get update

3. --Next install the Flask Web Server:
sudo apt-get install python-flask

4. --Install the GIT application so you can download my Github code:
sudo apt-get install git

5. --Download my Github code:
sudo git clone https://github.com/shrocky2/GarageWeb

6. --Test out setup and webpage (default port is 5000)
cd GarageWeb
--Test Relay connections
python relaytest.py
--Test Magnetic Reed Switches
python log.py
--Test out Webpage (Rasp_Pi_IP_Address:5000)
python web.py


 7. --To Setup this code to run automatically on system boot up:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
--Add the next 2 lines before the last line "exit 0"
sudo python /home/pi/GarageWeb/web.py &
sudo python /home/pi/GarageWeb/log.py &
