Installation
------------

To use Laser-tag α, you should have some things checked before running it. First of all, update and upgrade:

.. code-block:: console
   $ sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

This will ensure everything works perfectly and will allow us to run x11 without any issues (e.g. no desktop envirovment). After that, switch to x11:

.. code-block:: console
   $ sudo raspi-config

Because we're not sharing any venv, to ensure picamera2 will run out of the box, create one like this:

.. code-block:: console
   $ python3 -m venv --system-site-packages env

Run the terminal from the venv, and run:

.. code-block:: console
   $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Autostart
----------------

Now comes the worst part. Note that this instruction may differ, if you're not using LXDE-pi (e.g. KDE, GNOME, XFCE)
