The web application

As with the previous chapter, the web application that controls the servos is built using the Flask framework and served using Nginx and Gunicorn. Hence, the deployment procedure will be very similar here:

1. First, we must ensure that the Raspbian installation is up to date and install the packages that we need to deploy on the web application:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get upgrade
   sudo apt-get install python-pip git python-dev gunicorn supervisor nginx swig libasound-dev
   sudo pip install RPIO
   

2. Next, we will clone the code repository for the MIDI parsing library that will be used to read MIDI files and then install it using Python setup tools:

   git clone https://github.com/vishnubob/python-midi.git
   cd python-midi
   sudo python setup.py install
   cd
   

3. Next, we will clone the code repository for the Flask framework and install it using Python setup tools:

   git clone https://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask.git
   cd flask
   sudo python setup.py install
   cd
   

4. Next, we will copy the Nginx configuration...
