Insert sd card to raspberry pi
Connect via ssh to raspberrypi.local
Via raspi-config:

  - Enable camera
  - Enable Serial Port:
    - We do not want a login shell to be available.
    - We do want the serial port hardware to obe enabled.
- Allow the raspberry pi to restart and reconnect the ssh session.
For pyedurov2 to run at startup, we'll need to install and run it as sudo.
