This document is a quick tutorial to set up:

• Node-Red (required for getting CAN messages and sending them to FRED)

• codegen-tooling-msxiv (required for DBC file)

• virtual CAN (required for testing

The following are not needed but are here in case we need to install them for some reason

• Node-Red (optional)

• Chronograf (optional for collecting data)

• Grafana (optional for dashboards)

Make sure that the RasberryPi and Node-Red password are changed from their default setting.
