Installing

Cloning the repository

You need to have git installed on your Raspberry Pi in order to clone this repository. If you are not sure whether you have git installed or not, open the command line and type git --version. If you already have git installed but a newer version is available, use the command git clone https://github.com/git/git' to update it. But if you do not have git installed on your computer, type sudo apt-get install git. To install the game, use the command cd and write the directory in which you want to save the repository. If you do not know where you want to save the repository, type pwd and check if the output is /home/pi. If it is, you do not need to change the directory; you can save the repository right there. To find the file later, you will only need to open the file manager. To conclude, clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/LFuciarelli/christmas-lights.git and open the game using the commands cd christmas-lights and python christmas_lights.py.

Downloading a ZIP file

If you do not know how to use the command line, you can download the project in ZIP format by clicking on the green button Clone or download on the top of the main page. After extracting the files, open christmas_lights.py in a text editor or in a Python IDE and run the code.
