The most convenient way to get the program on your Pi will be to use the 'wget' command from a terminal and place the script directly into your home directory.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/master/Circadian_Pi_Desk_Light/Circadian_Pi_Desk_Light.py
The desk light program can be launched once with the following command. It will automatically change the colors based on the time values placed in the script such as:
# morning BLUE light hours # BLUE light is stimulating start_morning = "06:00:00" end_morning = "10:00:00" # evening RED light hours # RED light is calming allows melatonin production to increase start_night = "18:00:00" end_night = "22:00:00"
sudo python3 ./Circadian_Pi_Desk_Light.py
