Download Installer(s) from :

https://github.com/utkarshg99/Li-Fi-UI

• Debian : .deb
• Arch : .pacman
• Windows : .exe

Install the program, and copy the "Base Files" to the following directories:

• Linux : \opt\LiFi
• Windows : C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Programs\LiFi

Before running ensure:

• Python 3 is installed on your system:

python3 --version

• Install pyserial using:

python3 -m pip install pyserial

Alternate Method (Not recommended) :

To Run on device(s):

Windows : System Type : nt

• Install node and npm
• Navigate to Main Codes folder and execute:

npm i express formidable cors
python3 -m pip install pyserial

• Then RUN:

python3 pyLiFi.py

Ubuntu : System Type : posix

• Install node and npm

• Navigate to Main Codes folder and execute:

sudo npm i express formidable cors
sudo python3 -m pip install pyserial

• Then RUN:

sudo python3 pyLiFi.py

OR

• Navigate to Main Codes folder and RUN install.sh as root user, i.e., execute the following command(s) :

sudo chmod 777 install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

• Execute:

sudo npm i express formidable cors
sudo python3 -m pip install pyserial

• Then RUN:

sudo python3 pyLiFi.py

To check if node/npm is installed on your system, run the following:

node --version
npm --version

PS: I assume, like any sane man you have Python installed on your system (executed as : python3)

Alternative Approach:

• Installation part remains the same
• Instead of runnning pyLiFi.py you can run:

nt:

node mainserver.js

posix:

sudo node mainserver.js

and the run index.html
