Mopidy is a powerful music server that allows you to play music from your local files or online streaming services. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Mopidy on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we can start with the installation process, there are a few things you need to do:
You should have a Clear Linux Latest system up and running.
You should have administrative access to the system.
The first step in installing Mopidy is to update the system to the latest version. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo swupd update
Next, we need to install some dependencies that are required by Mopidy. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add curl python3-basic python3-devel
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can proceed with the installation of Mopidy. The easiest way to install Mopidy is through Python's pip package manager. Run the following command to install Mopidy:
pip3 install Mopidy
Mopidy supports a wide range of extensions that allow you to add additional functionality to the server. In this step, we will install a few extensions that are recommended for a better experience. Run the following commands to install the extensions:
pip3 install Mopidy-Local-SQLite
pip3 install Mopidy-YouTube
pip3 install Mopidy-Spotify
pip3 install Mopidy-Iris
After installing the extensions, we need to configure Mopidy to use them. Open the configuration file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
[local-sqlite]
enabled = true
[iris]
enabled = true
[youtube]
enabled = true
[spotify]
enabled = true
username = your_spotify_username
password = your_spotify_password
Replace your_spotify_username and your_spotify_password with your Spotify username and password.
Save the file and exit the editor.
Now that we have installed and configured Mopidy, we can start the server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start mopidy
If you want Mopidy to start automatically when the system boots, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mopidy
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Mopidy on Clear Linux Latest. With Mopidy, you can now play your favorite music from your local files or online streaming services.
