Conecting to the mycroft web client

I have a couple of what are probably very stupid questions.

  1. Does this have to run on the Mark I itself? I tried running the code that @pcwii provided, and it seems to work, but fails in the end. A quick nmap shows that port 8181 (from @KathyReid) isn’t open. Only port 22.

  2. On the Mark I, doing a straight up pip install of the websocket library fails because it doesn’t think pip is installed. pip is there, but in the Mycroft core virtual environment. If I just do an apt-get install python-pip, it’s wanting me to install a host of things, and I’m trying not to hose up my Mark I. Is it safe to do an apt-get install pip on these things?

I apologize in advance for these questions. I admit that I’m mucking around in things that are outside of my comfort zone and over my head for the most part. I appreciate your patience.
