SJON-i is meant to be executed on a tablet mounted to a robot. Elderly people can talk to SJON-i when they're bored, want to laugh or need help with something. The incentive for SJON-i came from a school project, where the goal was to create telepresence to entertain the elderly.

Installing SJON-i is quite easy.

1. install a small http server to be able to serve image and front files on local environment

• depends on node package manager, other http servers are possible too!
• OSX/Linux
  • open a terminal/command prompt and type sudo npm install -g http-server
• Windows (you may need to run command prompt as administrator)
  • open a terminal/command prompt and type npm install -g http-server

2. clone the repository to use the code, or even make some improvements of your own

• in the terminal/command prompt type git clone https://github.com/nout-kleef/SJON-i.git

3. run the http server

• open a new terminal window (navigate to the repository on your device) and type http-server

4. your SJON-i clone is all set!
