Leon is a personal assistant open-source project that can help you manage your everyday tasks, set reminders, and much more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Leon on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Let's get started.
Ensure your system is up to date by running:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Leon is built on Node.js, so you'll need to install Node.js and NPM to run it. You can install it by running:
sudo apt install nodejs npm -y
Once the installation completes, verify it by running:
node -v
We can install Leon using the git command. To install Leon, follow these steps:
Change to the directory where you want to install Leon.
cd /opt
Clone the Leon Git repository.
sudo git clone https://github.com/leon-ai/leon.git
This will download the Leon code to the /opt/leon directory.
Change to the leon directory.
cd leon
Install the required dependencies.
npm install
Leon has a default configuration that can be modified to suit your needs. To configure Leon, run the following:
cp config.sample.json config.json
nano config.json
This will open up the config.json file in the nano editor. You can modify the settings to your requirement. You can add your preferred language, change the hotword or enable third-party services.
Once you have made the desired changes, save the file and exit.
To start Leon, navigate to the leon directory and run:
npm start
This will start Leon. You can now test Leon by saying "Hey Leon" or whatever hotword you have set, and Leon should respond, letting you know it's ready to listen to your commands.
By following this tutorial, you have successfully installed Leon on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now start interacting with Leon and use it to automate your everyday tasks.
