I suggest setting up SSH so you can copy/paste this right in save yourself lots of time.

First thing to do is "Expand The Filesystem" So we can have the full space of our SD card.Code: Select all
sudo raspi-config
Pick Option 7 - Advanced Options
Pick Option 1 - Expand File System
Tab over to the Finish button and Reboot.
Next thing to do is update our Pi to the latest softwares.Code: Select all
sudo apt update
Code: Select all
sudo apt upgrade
Now we are going to install the parts needed for a Graphical Desktop and the Chromium Web BrowserCode: Select all
sudo apt-get install xinit xserver-xorg raspberrypi-ui-mods chromium-browser
Now to download the WRP softwareCode: Select all
wget https://github.com/tenox7/wrp/releases/download/4.5.1/wrp-arm-linux
Change it to be allowed to run as a programCode: Select all
chmod +x wrp-arm-linux
Next edit the /etc/rc.local file with nano so this runs on boot of the PiCode: Select all
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Add this line in under the other stuff but before the "exit 0"Code: Select all
/home/pi/wrp-arm-linux -t png -g 640x480x32 &
Just have an empty line before and after the added line, my file looks like thisCode: Select all
# Print the IP address
_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi
/home/pi/wrp-arm-linux -t png -g 640x480x32 &
exit 0
Press CTRL+X to exit, Press Y to save changes.
Reboot the PiCode: Select all
sudo reboot -n
Now learn what the IP of the Pi is write it down,Code: Select all
hostname -I
For me its 192.168.1.226
So in my WebBrowser I go to http://192.168.1.226:8080

Also did you update and upgrade? If you don't it might be sending you older packages.
Takes about 1gb because its installing the full desktop basically,
