      1 # Setup Hardware
      2 
      3 It is recommended that you provision your hardware using the serial interface over USB by using the [Meshtastic CLI Tool](https://pypi.org/project/meshtastic/). This is very specific because currently, at the time of writing this repository, changes made via the [web interface](https://client.meshtastic.org) do not work sometimes. When you "save" your settings, the device will reboot with the old settings still. I have had zero issues making changes over serial with the CLI interface.

      5 - `pip install meshtastic` to install the CLI tool
      6 - Plug in your device *(Make sure the USB cable you are using allows data transfer & not just power)*
      7 - Run the commands below *(Each command will make the device reboot after setting it)*

     57 **Note:** Only enable this on devices are not using Wifi *(mobile devices)* because with ESP32 chips, I don't think Wifi & Bluetooth can function side-by-side together.
