Change to install script

[Natrixz]

Hey Yosh,

It might be good to make the install (and start.sh) script more dynamic.
Eg. Change the user "pi" to be a dynamic field, mainly to be the user invoking the install script.
Shouldn't be a big change but it allows for a bit more easy install when you don't run "pi" as your main user (or have it deleted)

With kind regards,
Natrixz

There is more into it. Changing files during installation will give issues with new updates through git pull. And that will give more questions by people not familiar with git.

Also the 'other' user needs to be added to certain system groups in order to read out hardware.

So what I am doing now, is that the installer script will do a user check. If correct the installer continues and force the rights of the software folder. Those rights will then be used by the start script to read out the user that should run the software.

Yes that is true,

While writing this I noticed you already changed it to include the current user running the installer.
I was typing up;
import os
os.getlogin()

If you need any help testing/tinkering, let me know :)

Edit;
your current change appears to work on my setup running a non "pi" account.
My testing pi running "pi" runs fine as well.

So, for you it is all working? Then I think this issue can be closed. It is all working fine for me still

Yes, both my actual pi (different user) and my test pi running "pi" work fine updating/git pull and re-running setup :)
Nice work!
Saves the people like me from changing the scripts every git pull haha
