First I updated my Rpi
$ sudo apt get update
$ sudo apt get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt get upgrade
$ reboot
Above make take 30 mins!
Then to wire up I used a breadborad and:
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/flir-lepton-hookup-guide/all
My Lepton FLIR module wires:
CS - black -pin 26 (SPI_CE1_N)
MOSI - yellow - pin 19 (SPI_MOSI)
MISO - blue - pin 21 (SPI_MISO)
CLK - green - pin 23 (SPI_CLK)
GND - grey - pin 6 (ground)
VIN - purple - pin 1 (3.3v DC power)
SDA - white - pin 3 (SDA1)
SCL - orange - pin 5 (SCL1)
From:
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/raspberry-gpio#gpio-pinout
Now its wired-up we need the software.
Use:
sudo raspi-config
To enable SPI and I2C and reboot.
sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools

All built OK and launced a window but no image!
pi@tola_living_room:~/Documents/Lepton FLIR camera/LeptonModule-master/software/raspberrypi_video $ sudo ./raspberrypi_video
raspberrypi_video: cannot connect to X server
So ran "sudo ./raspberrypi_video 2>errs.txt" on RPI after startx
pi@tola_living_room:~/Documents/Lepton FLIR camera/LeptonModule-master/software/raspberrypi_video $ cat errs.txt

Will try Python approach next, which is what I used last time.

Got it working using Python :)

Here two remote commands are being used.

Got RaspPi Check app to issue capture commands via ssh but its is a pain to sftp from RPi to phone.
So decided to use web server and continuous capture (say every 5 secs) r single shot with browser displaying image. So phone just connects to the RPi website to control and see images.
$ sudo apt install nginx
$ sudo apt install midori
pi@flircam:~ $ midori localhost
http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html
Now to get index.py up and running!
pi@flircam:~ $ sudo nginx -s reload
To get nginx to serve .py python scripts follow:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-uwsgi-and-nginx-to-serve-python-apps-on-ubuntu-14-04
complex but does the trick (nginx can run .php natively)
