This guide is intended to help new (and perhaps experienced users) to setup and use a 3G modem on the BeagleBone Black running Angstrom Linux by using the Sakis3G script.*Note: The following steps should be run in a terminal window as root user. If you are accessing the BBB from USB and you don't know how to open a terminal, open https://192.168.7.2/ in the web browser on the host PC. If you are working on the BBB or using another terminal client and you are not logged in as root user (root@beaglebone:), use the following command to change the terminal window to root:#suYou may need to enter the root password. If you didn't specify a root password, just hit enter/return.*Note: Don't type the #, it is simply used in this text to indicate that it is a terminal command.Download Sakis3g from http:\\www.sakis3g.orgIf the site is down, try looking at http://sourceforge.net/projects/vim-n4n0/files/You can download the file directly from the terminal window by using the wget command:*Note: the alternative download location does not point to the file itself, you will have to go and get the url yourself.Navigate to the directory/folder where you have saved the file: (example)#cd downloads/sakis3g/Extract the content of the file:#tar -zxvf sakis3g.tar.gzMake sakis3g executable.
