LokiAP interfaces witht Lokinet daemon to facilitate connections to the the Lokinet global privacy network. LokiAP provides a simple, responsive web interface to control wifi, hostapd, Lokinet daemon and related services necessary to access Lokinet on the Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi.
"Loki is a privacy network which will allow users to transact and communicate privately over the internet, providing a suite of tools to help maintain the maximum amount of anonymity possible while browsing, transacting and communication online. Using the decentralised nature of blockchain technology, Loki creates new private and secure methods of interacting with the internet, as well as building privacy-centric applications, such as messaging services, forums, online marketplaces, and social media platforms."
Start with a clean install of the [latest release of Raspbian](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/) (currently Stretch). Raspbian Stretch Lite is recommended.
For Raspbian you will need to remove the SD card from the computer, reinsert it, open the boot directory up and create a new textfile file named `ssh` with no .txt file extension i.e. just `ssh` in order to remotely connect. This step is not required for Armbian.
5. Set the WiFi country in raspi-config's / armbian-config's **Localisation Options**: `sudo raspi-config` or `sudo arbmian-config` for RasperryPi or OrangePi respectively.
6. If you have an older Raspberry Pi without an onboard WiFi chipset, the [**Edimax Wireless 802.11b/g/n nano USB adapter**](https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/global/wireless_adapters_n150/ew-7811un) is an excellent option – it's small, cheap and has good driver support.
The installer will complete the steps in the manual installation (below) for you. You will be occasionally prompted to answer `y` or `n`. Answering yes to all prompts will in almost all cases be the answer you want so if in doubt respond with `y` that you want the default set up and the AP will work.
LokiAP is free software, but powered by your support. If you find it beneficial or wish to contribute to inspire ongoing development your donations of any amount; be they even symbolic, are a show of approval and are greatly appreciated.
