Getting the Raspberry Pi Zero W ready

2. Create a simple text document named ssh in the boot directory to enable ssh.
3. Expand the filesystem in the Terminal with sudo raspi-config --expand-rootfs
4. Enable SPI by entering sudo sed -i s/#dtparam=spi=on/dtparam=spi=on/ /boot/config.txt in the Terminal
5. Set the correct timezone with sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, selecting the correct continent and then the capital of your country.
6. Reboot to apply changes

Installing required packages for python 3.5

Execute the following command in the Terminal to install all required packages:

sudo curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aceisace/Raspberry-Pi-Google-Calendar-with-E-Paper-display/master/Packages-installer | bash

Customising the main script

Once the packages are installed, you can copy the 'Calendar' folder from this directory to the 'Home' folder of the 'Pi' user on the raspberry pi. From there, navigate to the file 'stable.py' and edit the file according to your own needs.
