 Yes! You are finally ready now to carefully follow the excellent [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/|step-by-step guide]]. **If you plan to add the web-page status display, ** it's slightly easier if you skip the ENABLING READ-ONLY MODE steps for now. If you're not sure, then go ahead with these steps though. It's only a little more trouble to work around. Yes!

 Since Nginx requires log files and the Read-Only mod changed the log directory two more steps are needed. First, add a line into /etc/fstab for a new temporary file system. Type ''sudo nano /etc/fstab'' and add a line exactly like the last one below. Then press ''<ctrl-s> <ctrl-x>'' to save and exit. **Be careful!** Don't touch anything else in the file or your system may not boot. Since Nginx requires log files and the Read-Only mod changed the log directory two more steps are needed.

 (Optional) If all is working, this might be a good time to follow the directions under ENABLING READ-ONLY MODE in the [[https://neuma.studio/rpi-midi-complete.html|article]]. This will help protect the SD card from becoming corrupted when turning off the device. Keep in mind that from the time you do this, a ''rw'' command will need to be executed if any changes are made in the device, and certain app major app installations (such as the web-page modification above) require troubleshooting and extra setup to make work. So only do this if you're really ready to lock things down. (Optional) If all is working, this might be a good time to follow the directions under ENABLING READ-ONLY MODE in the [[https://neuma.studio/rpi-midi-complete.html|article]].
