+===== Software to add to Mesh Network =====
+==== MeshChat ====
+Software and details can be found here:
+http://www.trevorsbench.com/meshchat-messaging-for-mesh-networks
+You can install on a node, such as the hAP AC Lite, but it's preferable to install on a Debian Linux-based device, such as a Raspberry pi, or a converted thin client, such as a Dell Wyse 3040. After installing the software package, you will need to modify the systemd startup for apache2, so that the /tmp folder is not set to private for use with apache. If the systemd file is not in /etc/systemd/system, copy it over from /lib/systemd/system and change the PrivateTmp property to 'false' instead of 'true'. Furthermore if you have issues, open up the permissions on /tmp/meshchat/lock from 640 to 666.
+<note important>Don't forget, when you modify a systemd file, you will need to run systemctl daemon-reload to have the changes take effect</note>
