Guide for Raspbian
Some information may not be applicable to other Raspberry Pis.
This guide assumes that you have knowledge of how to connect to your Raspberry Pi using an SSH and (S)FTP client.
The bot requires other software installed on your Raspberry Pi. Run these commands:
apt-get install sudo
apt-get install git
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential libncursesw5-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev openssl
sudo apt-get install build-essential unzip -y
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/libsodium -y
sudo apt-get install libopus-dev libffi-dev libsodium-dev
Raspbian doesn't come with the correct version of Python out of the box. We will install the correct version ourselves. This process can take a while, as we're building Python from scratch.
cd ~
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.0/Python-3.5.0.tgz
tar -zxvf Python-3.5.0.tgz
cd Python-3.5.0
./configure
If you own a quad-core Raspberry Pi (3 B or higher), you can add -j4
to the end of the next command (making it make -j4
) to speed up the build process considerably. Building Python may take a while.
make -j4
sudo make install
To check that Python installed correctly, use the command python3.5 --version
. It should output something like Python 3.5.0
.
Pip is needed to install the Python dependencies required to run the bot, so lets ensure that pip is installed. Run these commands:
cd ~
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3.5 get-pip.py
To check that Pip installed correctly, use the command pip3.5 --version
. It should output something like pip 7.1.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)
.
FFmpeg is needed to stream music to Discord. Run these commands:
cd /usr/src
sudo git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264
cd x264
sudo ./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --enable-static --disable-opencl
sudo make
sudo make install
You installed H264 support for your Raspberry Pi. Now lets install FFmpeg.
cd /usr/src
sudo git clone https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg.git
cd FFmpeg
sudo ./configure --arch=armel --target-os=linux --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree
If you own a quad-core Raspberry Pi (3 B or higher), you can add -j4
to the end of the next command (making it make -j4
) to speed up the build process considerably. Building FFmpeg may take a while.
sudo make -j4
sudo make install
Now that the system dependencies out of the way, run the following commands to install the bot in your home directory and install the Python dependencies required:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/SexualRhinoceros/MusicBot.git MusicBot -b master
cd MusicBot
sudo -H pip3.5 install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
At this point you should create a bot account and add it to your server.
Connect to your Raspberry Pi using FTP.
Inside the bot's folder is another folder called config
. Open it, and then open the example_options.ini
file. This is the file containing the bot's settings. All options are explained in the file. Make sure you save the file as options.ini after editing and upload it back to the Raspberry Pi. If you need help, read the configuration page.
You can start your bot by running this command:
python3.5 run.py
If you want your bot to run on startup of your Raspberry Pi, read this guide.
