How to install measrureit on Raspberry Pi

[David]

Hi

As the CurrentCost Xively service is shutting down on Monday (15/1) I am trying to step up sending data from CurrentCost ENVIR (2 units) directly to PVOutput.

I have purchased a Raspberry Pi 3 and 2 data cables.  The Raspberry Pi is working with operating system running (I purchased it with NOOBS)  I have installed the Apache webserver but I can't work out how to install the measureit software.

I have looked at https://github.com/lalelunet/measureit/wiki/Measureit-on-Linux but I am stuck 

You should change to the user that owns the web files. Find it out with:

ls -la /your/web/directory

This just returns an error of directory not found.

Any help appreciated.

You run the browser on your PC or laptop or your phone. Not on the PI :)

The PI just need power and network cable plugged in. And of course the EnviR plugged in also.

Just open for example chrome or firefox and type in the adressbar 192.168.0.102 and press enter.

If we are in luck it should open the measureit website.

It depends on what IPs your router give to your PC. If you do not get the measureit website we had to find out which IP address the PI gets from your router.

Try a software to find it out.

Google give me this. It looks OK for our needs:
