[smashing] is a framework that lets you build excellent dashboards. it
looks especially great on tvs

download the latest [rasbian lite] image. as of the time of writing it's
"2017-03-02"

``` bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev ruby-dev nodejs bundler rubygems
gem install smashing
```

the last command will take a while without showing any output
