npm install raspi-io

If you are planning on using the video streaming feature, you will need to install FFmpeg:

sudo apt install gnutls-dev
cd /usr/local/src
git clone https://github.com/r3n33/FFmpeg.git -b dynoverlay
cd FFmpeg
./configure --arch=armel --target-os=linux --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree --enable-gnutls --extra-libs=-ldl --enable-zlib
make -j4
sudo make install

Credit goes to @r3n33 for the dynoverlay filter and install instructions.

Running

The default configuration

sudo node runmynodebot.js run <Your robot ID>
