Typically Box Of Stops must be run as the [[wikipedia:Superuser|Superuser]], to give it the rights it needs on the Raspberry Pi.
This is done by using the '''sudo''' command. For example when [[Starting]] and [[Stopping]] Box Of Stops.
== Is sudo necessary? ==
For those interested, the reasons for this are:
* The web interface (e.g. '''<nowiki>http://192.168.1.128</nowiki>''') runs on port 80. Only the superuser is allowed port numbers below 1024.
** Note the port number can be changed from the [[Application properties]]
* To enable access to the [[Gpio button|Gpio ports]]
* To edit /etc/rc.local, to enable auto start
This is done by All these values can be changed from the [[Application properties]] though. If you are interested to avoid using the sudo command, then change the '''sudoserver.port''' commandvalue to a number above 1024 (e. For example when [[Starting]] g. 8080), and [[Stopping]] override the '''pi.input.pins''' and '''auto.start''' properties to no value: server.port = 8080 pi.input.pins = auto.start = Box Of Stopscan then be started without the '''sudo''': java -jar boxofstops.jar Then to connect from the browser, add the alternative port after a colon, e.g. : <nowiki>http://192.168.1.128:8080</nowiki>
