• USB Flash Drive 32GB+ (not HDD)
• 16GB MicroSDHC card
• MicroUSB power adapter

1. Download and extract Raspbian OS (Wheezy)

2. Burn Raspbian image onto a formatted microSD card. See installation guide.

   sudo dd bs=1m if=/path/to/2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy.img of=/dev/rdisk2

3. Insert microSD card into Raspberry Pi and power it up. Plug in the mouse, keyboard, camera, thumb drive, ethernet.

4. Run through the install screens. Don't forget to expand the volumes. And localize.

5. Open up a shell and update the packages

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

6. Install Motion sudo apt-get install motion

7. Clone the contents of this repo into /home/pi/timelapse

8. Make sure the scripts are executable.

   chmod a+x scripts/*

9. Make a target directory for the thumb mount.

   sudo mkdir /media/thumb

10. Add the contents of setup/fstab to the end of /etc/fstab. Reboot.

11. Add the contents of setup/crontab to pi's crontab

    crontab -e

12. Sit back and enjoy. And don't pick your nose... you're on camera now.

More to come...
