Documentation

What is your idea or what can be improved?

I'd like to see some documentation on the MC API & its use in a programming language. (Could be LUA, Python, etc)

Also some step by step on how to install MC on a Ubuntu machine.

Let me know if this is on your development horizon.

It did not make it into the v2.12.0 release, but the plan is to have a documentation link in the footer of the MeshChat page that links to the automated documentation that is generated at build time. You can browse this documentation at https://hickey.github.io/meshchat. The modules on the sidebar is where the API documentation is located.

@hickey sooo I'm looking at the instructions here on how to install on Linux, which say to install meshtastic v1.02 (presumably the debian package). Unfortunately the previous places it was linked the deb file no longer exists on the AWS s3 bucket where it was hosted. I'de be willing to submit a PR with better instructions if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks!
