⚙️ Installation

You can install and run the bridge either natively (bare metal) or via Docker.

---

🧩 Option 1 – Classic Installation (without Docker)

For direct use on Debian, Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dj0abr/bmw-mqtt-bridge.git
cd bmw-mqtt-bridge

# Make scripts executable
chmod +x scripts/*.sh

# Install dependencies
./scripts/install_deps.sh

# Compile
./scripts/compile.sh

# Run OAuth2 Device Flow (creates .env automatically)
./scripts/bmw_flow.sh

If this is your first run, the script will:

• create ~/.local/state/bmw-mqtt-bridge/
• open nano with a new .env file
  → insert your CLIENT_ID and GCID there, then save and exit.

After that, open the displayed URL in your browser, log in,
then return to the terminal and press ENTER.

Then start the bridge:

./src/bmw_mqtt_bridge
