Command line rnode setup video by Simon Phillips, useful for preparing a stand-alone headless rnode, over ssh, as a transport node to relay messages received. The video includes RNS software installation and rnode firmware flashing from the command line.

Headless Raspberry Pi 4 single board computer runing Reticulum MeshChat: this video takes you step-by-step through Liam Cottle's instruction for setting up Reticulum MesChat on a Raspberry Pi 4 via ssh on the command line, wherein the Raspberry Pi is 'headless' i.e. does not need any keyboard nor screen. Reticulum MeshChat allows you to control the Raspberry Pi via a web browser page over your local network. This is ideal for setting up and maintaining Raspberry-Pi-based transport rnodes in the field which may not be very accessible. This is the first step to making a solar-powered setup.
