###What you'll need to get this up and running:
- A Raspberry PI unit B model, version 3 seems to cooperate best. Pi Zero works too!

- At least an 8GB SDCARD, 16 GB recommended

-
An ethernet cable and 1 NIC port OR 1 USB Wifi Dongle works too (Raspberry Pi B unit comes with this NIC requirement)
- Contrary to the conventional standard of using two nics, one for monitoring and one for management, you really only need one NIC or one available Wifi interface.
- A Tomato Supported Router or some way to get packets to your Briar monitoring interface.

- A computer with an SDCard slot or a USB SDCard to write the Raspbian OS image

I would strongly recommend issuing a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade before installing, just to be on the safe side and up-to-date. I've tried including all the dependencies in the install scripts themselves. Let me know if I missed something. If you install DietPI without any essential packages, xterm will not come installed by default. Be sure to install it prior to installing any Briar packages by issuing a sudo apt-get install xterm
- Linux users: You can use ssh -X for x forwarding
- Windows users: you will need to install the Xming software package for forwarding the GUI that gets displayed on the PI over to your main computer

from there, connect using putty by configuring your x-window manager like so:
