This is a guide for installing PiCluster on Arch Linux ARM using a Raspberry Pi 3.
h2. Prepare the Environment
* Make sure the system is up to date:
<pre>
pacman -Syu
</pre>
* Install prerequisites:
<pre>
pacman -S docker git nodejs npm python2
</pre>
* Use npm to install node-gyp globally:
<pre>
npm install -g node-gyp
</pre>
* Add the picluster user:
<pre>
useradd -m -g users -s /bin/bash picluster
</pre>
* Start and enable docker at boot:
<pre>
systemctl enable docker
systemctl start docker
</pre>
h2. Install PiCluster
* Download the latest PiCluster version from GitHub:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rusher81572/picluster.git /opt/picluster
</pre>
* Change the ownership of picluster directory:
<pre>
chown -R picluster /opt/picluster
</pre>
* Switch to the picluster user and switch to the picluster directory:
<pre>
su - picluster
</pre>
* Edit the config.json file:
<pre>
vi config.json
</pre>
#* And edit the config file to suit your environment:
*NOTE*: Use the web_connect key to the value of the host systems IP address. Otherwise you will get connection errors while starting the agent.

* Install and run server:
*NOTE*: There is currently a problem with the @npm install@ step not installing microtime. This can safely be ignored.
<pre>
cd server
npm install
node server.js
</pre>
* Install and run agent:
*NOTE*: There is currently a problem with the @npm install@ step not installing microtime. This can safely be ignored.
<pre>
cd ../agent
npm install
node agent.js
</pre>
* Install and run web console:
<pre>
cd ../web
npm install
node webconsole.js
</pre>

h2. Init with pm2
* Install pm2:
<pre>
pacman -S pm2
</pre>
* Install the pm2 systemd init script as the picluster user:
<pre>
pm2 startup systemd -u picluster --hp /home/picluster /opt/picluster/server
</pre>
* Switch to the picluster user:
<pre>
su - picluster
</pre>
*NOTE*: I needed to set the config file path in the server.js, agent.js, and webconsole.js scripts to the absolute config path:
<pre>
cd /opt/picluster/server
sed -i.bak -e "s/..\/config.json/\/opt\/picluster\/config.json/g" server.js
cd ../agent
sed -i.bak -e "s/..\/config.json/\/opt\/picluster\/config.json/g" agent.js
cd ../web
sed -i.bak -e "s/..\/config.json/\/opt\/picluster\/config.json/g" webconsole.js
</pre>
* Start the server, agent, and webconsole scripts:
<pre>
cd /opt/picluster/server
pm2 start server.js
cd ../agent
pm2 start agent.js
cd ../web
pm2 start webconsole.js
</pre>
* Save the pm2 session to restart at boot:
<pre>
pm2 save
</pre>
