# Romi Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [Romi](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/romi-robot/index.html) is a small robot that can be controlled with the WPILib software. The main controller is a Raspberry Pi that must be imaged with [WPILibPi](https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/romi-robot/imaging-romi.html) .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The WPILibPi image includes FRCVision, which reserves USB cameras; to use PhotonVision, we need to edit the `/home/pi/runCamera` script to disable it. First we will need to make the file system writeable; the easiest way to do this is to go to `10.0.0.2` and choose "Writable" at the top.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SSH into the Raspberry Pi (using Windows command line, or a tool like [Putty](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) ) at the Romi's default address `10.0.0.2`. The default user is `pi`, and the password is `raspberry`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Follow the process for installing PhotonVision on {ref}`"Other Debian-Based Co-Processor Installation" <docs/installation/sw_install/other-coprocessors:Other Debian-Based Co-Processor Installation>`. As it mentions this will require an internet connection so plugging into the ethernet jack on the Raspberry Pi will be the easiest solution. The pi must remain writable!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next, from the SSH terminal, run `sudo nano /home/pi/runCamera` then arrow down to the start of the exec line and press "Enter" to add a new line. Then add `#` before the exec command to comment it out. Then, arrow up to the new line and type `sleep 10000`. Hit "Ctrl + O" and then "Enter" to save the file. Finally press "Ctrl + X" to exit nano. Now, reboot the Romi by typing `sudo reboot`.

After it reboots, you should be able to [locate the PhotonVision UI](https://photonvision.github.io/gloworm-docs/docs/quickstart/#finding-gloworm) at: `http://10.0.0.2:5800/`.

In order for settings, logs, etc. to be saved / take effect, ensure that PhotonVision is in writable mode.
