Running D-Rats on Raspberry PI and have it autostart on boot


 

So you want to run D-Rats on the Raspberry Pi and it have automatically launch on power up. The GUI needs to launch every time the Pi starts.

The build we are currently running is Raspbian "wheezy".

This URL will tell you how to install D-Rats on the Pi.


The executable files are stored under /usr/bin and are called:
d-rats > D-Rats communication program
d-rats_mapdownloader > download maps
d-rats_repeater > D-Rats repeater

Once the install is completed...

start LXTERMINAL from raspberry PI desktop

cd /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE
sudo leafpad autostart

You need to add the following statement at the end of the file and save the file.
@d-rats_repeater

All you need to do is to logoff and next time time GUI launches the D-Rats repeater will launch. You will have enable the repeater the 1st time and set your callsign.
