   Now setup the root account

   sudo mariadb
   GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '{Your Passowrd}' WITH GRANT OPTION;
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   exit

   Check if mariadb is configured correctly

   sudo systemctl status mariadb

2. Install python imports

   python3 -m pip install pyserial
   python3 -m pip install chartjs
   python3 -m pip install croniter

3. Create the website folder

   mkdir Website
   git clone https://github.com/AnthonyBebek/PlantLifeMonitor

   run the website with

   python3 application.py

   Navigate to http://localhost to see the webpage

   If there is an error in the script, the website doesn't show up or you see the default apache page. Report the issue here Report Bug

   If you are still having issues with everything, try using the prebuilt OS instead. Which can be Found Here
