Instructions for installing Milo Client

Only use these instructions until a repository is established.

1. Open a terminal and make sure you are in your home space (type "cd" to automatically do this)
2. If a scripts directory does not exist, create one ("mkdir scripts")
3. Download the kehoe_milo.py file and the milo_class.py file and place them in the scripts folder.
4. Create a cron (a scheduled task) by typing ("crontab -e") in the terminal
5. The crontab program may ask you to pick a text editor. I recommend going with Pico, which is probably the default.
6. Create a new line in the file, setting the time to 0 * * * *. This will make the script operate every hour. For the command, type "python /home/YOURUSER/scripts/kehoe_milo.py -l"
7. Save and close the crontab (CTRL + X to exit in Pico, and hit Y to accept the changes)
8. Yay, you've installed the Milo client.
