It will prompt The SPI interface is enabled, press ok

Select Finish to exit raspi-config

Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo apt install libopenjp2-7 libtiff5

Also make sure you have at least Python 3.7 installed, which should be the case for the most recent Raspbian releases.

Once you have got all the credentials and hooked up the wires, you can run main.py without any parameter to create the config file:
