Step 11
Now it's time to import code from git. In the Terminal window, run:
```
git clone https://github.com/vpetrache/Raspberry-Pi-Web-Application-Temperature-Reading.git
```
This will create a folder called Raspberry-Pi-Web-Application-Temperature-Reading with monitor.py and webgui.py in it.

Step 12

Go to the directory:

cd Raspberry-Pi-Web-Application-Temperature-Reading
cp monitor.py /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
cp webgui.py /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

Change the file ownership:

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/monitor.py
sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/cgi-bin/webgui.py
sudo chown www-data:www-data /usr/lib/cgi-bin/monitor.py

13
Step 13
To add the python script to run as a job:
```
sudo crontab -u www-data -e
```
Add the follwing line at the end of the www-data file:
```
*/15 * * * * /usr/lib/cgi-bin/monitor.py
```

Step 14

Next step, enable the Apache web server to run the script:

sudo leafpad /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default &

Navigate to line:

<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
...
</Directory>

Add the following line:

AddHandler cgi-script .py

And restart the Apache server:

sudo service apache2 reload

15
Step 15
Restart the Raspberry Pi:
```
sudo reboot
```
Go to any browser and connect to http://YourPiIpAddress/cgi-bin/webgui.py and you should see something like this (with a few data):

Step 16

Wrap up. Now, when the season comes I have a functional project.
