Install volumio on your rpi from https://volumio.com/get-started/ .

Note that the dns-name depends on the name you give your instance. My is called “volumio kontor”, so the local dns-name in my case is volumiokontor.local.

Now, to ssh into it you have to enable ssh by visiting volumio.local/dev and press “enable” on ssh. Username and password is “volumio”

# password is "volumio"
$ ssh volumio@volumio.local  

Clone the waveshare repository and install the required tools

$ git clone https://github.com/waveshareteam/e-Paper.git

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install raspi-config python-pil python-pip

$ pip install spidev

To use the spi-interface, you have to enable it with raspi-config. Open raspi-config and enable it under “Interface Options” -> “Spi”.

$ sudo raspi-config

Save and exit, then reboot to load the kernel-module for spi.

You will be thrown out from your ssh-session, so wait for the rpi to boot and ssh in again.
