## Adding details to the programm ## Adding details to the programm
Once the packages are installed, navigate to the home directory, open 'E-Paper-Calendar' and open the file 'settings.py' inside the Calendar folder. Adjust the values using the list below as a reference. You can edit the settings.py file by typing: There are currently 2 ways to add details to the programm, the user-friendly method and the legacy method. It's recommended to use the
user-friendly option first. If you encounter any bugs, please use the legacy method and write a comment describing the bug.
1) **User-friendly method**
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:
python3.5 /home/pi/E-Paper-Calendar/Calendar/E-Paper.py.
If you encounter any issues, please leave a comment here or via email. Thanks in advance.
2) **Legacy method**
Navigate to the home directory, open 'E-Paper-Calendar' and open the file 'settings.py' inside the Calendar folder. Adjust the values using the list below as a reference. You can edit the settings.py file by typing:
`nano /home/pi/E-Paper-Calendar/Calendar/settings.py` in the Terminal. `nano /home/pi/E-Paper-Calendar/Calendar/settings.py` in the Terminal.
