A first look and walkthough of the CHIP $9 computer, up to running Node and Express to serve a trivial website.
The install process was:
- Install Debian from bare metal.

Go to 'Getting Started with C.H.I.P"
https://nextthingco.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/209757858-Flash-C-H-I-P-with-an-OS-Ubuntu-
You also need to get the Wi-Fi up and running with nmcli
The entire process was headless over USB, not using a screen and keyboard.
- Install CURL
- Install Node:

- Install NPM
- Get packages
npm install -g forever
npm install express
The express example is taken directly from:
http://expressjs.com/starter/hello-world.html
- Install VIM
- apt-get install vim

This video was made using an Alpha version of the CHIP.
