Software Installation

To install PiGear Nano’s software, please run this command in your home directory:

wget https://www.uugear.com/repo/PiGearNano/installPiGearNano.sh

If your Raspberry Pi CM4 has an internet connection, it will immediately download the script from the UUGear website, and you will then see the “install.sh” script in your home directory. Then you just need to run this script with sudo:

sudo sh installPiGearNano.sh

You will need to use sudo to run this script because it also tries to modify the /boot/config.txt file (will make a backup first). The software will be installed in the “pgnano” directory and also UUGear Web Interface (UWI) will be installed/updated to “uwi” directory.

After installing the software, you need to restart your Raspberry Pi, so the UWI server will be running in the background. With the default configuration, you should be able to access your PiGearNano via UWI on address http://raspberrypi:8000/pgnano/.

If your Raspberry Pi does not use 'raspberrypi' hostname, or this hostname is not resolvable in your network environment, you need to modify the uwi.conf file in “uwi” directory to include the real IP address of your Raspberry Pi.
