Open the file $dev/ffos/app/html/app.js in your code editor on the host machine. This is usually far more convenient than alternatives. This allows you to develop code using your host computer's editor and without needing to explicitly synchronize files. The filesystem passes reads and writes through to your Raspberry Pi's ~/ffos folder. This mounts a special filesystem on your host machine's $dev/ffos mount point. Run the following commands on your host machine Go to a folder you'd like to use for development on your host machine. This should create a ffos folder in your RPi's home directory. Copy the package to your RPi and then extract it into your RPi user's home directory with But you changed the password, right? Right?)ĭownload the Firefox OS demo files. Ssh need to enter the password, which by default is "raspberry". We'll call this address $rpiaddress from here on.Įnsure that the following command, run from your host computer, allows you to log into your RPi

It's strongly recommended that you install sshfs on your host machine. ) should work fine, but hasn't been tested. A connection through a wifi dongle or USB networking (or. This guide assumes your RPi is connected to the host machine via Ethernet. Be sure to test that WebIOPi is working correctly before proceeding. Other distributions will probably work, but haven't been tested. This guide assumes your Raspberry Pi (here after RPi) is running a recent Raspbian OS. Models B and B+ should work equally well. Thanks specifically to romaxa, trouch, and Philipp Wagner for doing the heavy lifting!
