MARRtino Virtual Application and Raspberry image files

Version 1.x

You can use pre-installed operating systems either on a Virtual Machine (VM) or on a Raspberry PI3.

Updates to last version (for both VM and Raspberry)

Last version released: 1.8.0

The updates must be run on VM and (if any) on Raspberry.

0. To verify which version is installed on VM or Raspberry run: echo $MARRTINO_VERSION

1. Move to or create an install folder in the home directory

cd install

If the folder does not exist (you have a very old version), create it and download the update script.

mkdir install
cd install
wget -N http://www.diag.uniroma1.it/~iocchi/marrtino/marrtino_update.py

2. Run the update script

python marrtino_update.py

3. Confirm update to new version (if you want) and use the following password when needed

Password: marrtino

4. Execute again the update script if needed to reach the latest version.
