@ -4,12 +4,17 @@ This is a REST API to access the Raspberry PI RGB LED Matrix over HTTP.
**Note:** This webserver should _never_ be exposed to the outside of the system it's running on, since it's meant to be combined with the provided `SvelteKit` [Webserver](../Webserver/) to serve a GUI. Although it can still be run in standalone (more on this [here](../Webserver/README.md)), please make sure you set up a firewall or other kinds of access rules to **forbid any connections** from outside of this machine (localhost).

2. Make sure you have Python version 3.9.* installed, as the [library](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix) uses a now deprecated module and as it is the only version proven to work.
3. Install all necessary dependencies shown within this library's [documentation](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/blob/master/bindings/python/README.md).
