Raveberry is an open-source project that lets you create your own media player system using a Raspberry Pi and any audio output device. Installing Raveberry on Linux Mint is fairly simple and can be done in the following steps:
First, open the terminal on your Linux Mint system and run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:
sudo apt-get install git python python-pip python-dev python-setuptools python-pil python-imaging python-pyudev python-alsaaudio python-dbus python-vlc gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0
This command will download and install various Python libraries and other dependencies required for Raveberry to function.
Next, navigate to the directory where you want to download and install Raveberry. Then, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/raveberry/raveberry.git
This command will download the Raveberry project from GitHub to your local system. After the download is complete, navigate to the 'raveberry' directory and run the following command to install Raveberry:
sudo python setup.py install
This command will install the Raveberry project along with all its dependencies.
Now that Raveberry is installed, you can start configuring it to work on your system. To do this, run the following command to open the Raveberry configuration file in a text editor:
sudo nano /etc/raveberry.conf
In this file, you can configure various settings for Raveberry such as the audio output device, EQ settings, and more. Refer to the Raveberry documentation or online forums for more information on how to configure these settings.
Finally, you can start Raveberry by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start raveberry
This command will start the Raveberry service, which will automatically start playing music based on the settings configured in the 'raveberry.conf' file.
With these simple steps, you can easily install and configure Raveberry on your Linux Mint system to create your own media player system. Enjoy your music!
