We booted the computer and then with F2 disabled the booting. We messed up twice, because we did not select it properly or for some reason it messed up. At the end it worked, but we unplugged the USB which caused, that we had to redo the entire reboot. After we sorted that out, we followed the other steps and got to a point where we installed linux and the iot part. When we hosted it I could not see it between my wificonnections. Two days later, when I tried it again it immeadetly worked.

Setting up Linux step by step...

• Get Laptop
• Put in USB-stick and start Laptop
• While starting, **smash ** the f2 key and get into the bios menu
• Disable "secure boot"
• Stop because we needed a admin password (which we did not have) and had to wait for the technicians

While waiting, we try to set up raspberry pi instead!

• Get to the raspberry page/images
• Do 'something' with raspberry ios ...
• Plug in a USB-stick
• And then fail connecting with the raspberry pi.

Technicians came back and helped us out

• So we get back to the laptop and restarted them
• While starting, smash the f12 key to get into another boot menu
• Select the USB-stick
• ... and fail
• Wait for the other USB-stick
• Ensure that the secure boot is really disable (which wasn't)
• Restart again...
• After rebooting, forget choosing a correct name instead of using the default one
• Restart again...
• Make sure to NOT remove the USB-stick while installing otherwise you have to...
• ...Restart again...
• Finally manage to install manjaro and set name, country, time etc.
• Then go to github iotempire/empower and follow the instructions
• Struggle around with downloading, copy pasting and everything else that is possible
• Delete everything again and re-do it
• Use 'bash run' in the terminal to run the program

Let's connect our Linux with hardware!

• Connect to a wifi
• Go to the path 'home/iot/etc/iot.config.example'
• Copy past it, rename it exactly the same except without '.example' at the end
• Edit it
• Create wifi name 'iotjs'
• And a password 'internetofthings7'
• And realize that nothing happens The conclusion at the end of the lesson: DELL laptops do not have the qualifications for creating wifis. We could change our plans and switch back to raspberry pi for real.

We started the computer and then deactivated it using F2. Then restart the computer after unplugging the USB cable. After everything was resolved, we proceeded to the next stage, which was to install Linux and the IoT component. We had an issue accessing it but with the help of the IT department, we managed to succeed with the implementation.
