ON7LDS Nextion Display Driver Installation
Guide Page 11
The prompt will change color. You will see “root” in the prompt. You are now what is called a “Super User”. This means every command we do from this point on will be executed without asking are we sure or not. Make sure you enter all commands correctly after this. A wrongly entered command could mess up this Pi-Star installation. We don't want to have to start from a fresh image install.
!! IF !! this is the FIRST TIME installing the Nextion Display Driver, THEN We must make sure that the NextionDriver executable is NOT already installed in the Pi-Star Image.
This one file being placed in the image will cause this FIRST TIME installation to "ACT" like it is installing, YET, it doesn't, it breaks the installation process. When you press enter, if it complains, then it's not there, no damage done. IF the command prompt just comes back, then it just removed the NextionDriver executable, GREAT.
!! IF !! this is to UPDATE the Nextion Display Driver Installation, THEN DON'T DO THE NEXT STEP!
As imaged above, At the prompt, enter ...
rm /usr/local/bin/NextionDriver
Now, AS WE FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURE ABOVE, it should OK to Install / Update the Nextion Display Driver.
As imaged above, At the prompt, enter ...
git clone https://github.com/on7lds/NextionDriverInstaller.git
... on the keyboard. Press the enter key on the keyboard. Yes, you will see the text wrap around the screen, this won't hurt anything, it's just the way this text screen works.
