To use the new WEB-UI (Web-User-Interface), simply double-click the file Settings-Web-UI.html located in /home/pi/E-Paper-Calendar/Calendar/ to open up the document with the browser (Chrome etc.). Next, fill in the details (you can use the table below for a reference) and click on generate to create your settings.py file. Lastly, copy the generated 'settings.py' file to /home/pi/E-Paper-Calendar/Calendar (the same path where the settings.py file is) and try starting the main script with:

## Updating
|
||||
If you want to update to the latest version, run the Installer from above again and select the 'update' option.
|
||||
|
||||
Before updating, the Installer checks if the settings file (/home/pi/E-Paper-Calendar/Calendar/settings.py) exists. This is done to test if a previous version was installed correctly. If the settings file exists, it is copied to the home directory and renamed as 'settings.py.old'. The old software folder 'E-Paper-Calendar' is renamed to 'E-Paper-Calendar-old'. Lastly, the latest version of the software is copied to the Raspberry as 'E-Paper-Calendar'.

After updating, copy the contents from your old settings file to the new one. There are usally more options in the new settings.py file so a 'template' is prepared with each update. This template can be found in /home/pi/E-Paper-Calendar/Calendar/settings.py.sample.
