Burn Rapberry Pi Lite 64-bit to micro sd card using raspberry pi imager and follow instructions
Using command line to edit config file
sudo raspi-congig
Select fist tab System Options to update wifi setting Select forth tab Localisation Options to update language and timezone Update remote control options upon personal preference with the Interface Options
Note: we will install
TeamViewer
as our remote control tool, no need to set up vnc here
Using command line to get update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Using command line to install git
sudo apt-get install git
Note: Lite version raspberry pi os doesn't have built-in
git
command
Before you begin, run a quick update to ensure your system is up-to-date to avoid conflicts during the tutorial and good system maintenance.
sudo su
cd ../../
cd ./etc
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
First off, install the essential dependencies required for building Python 3.10 from source as we shall later see.
sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev wget libbz2-dev
Download the Gzipped source tarball file using the wget command as shown.
sudo wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.0/Python-3.10.0.tgz
Now we are ready to install Python 3.10 on Debian 11. First, navigate into the python 3.10 directory.
tar -xvf Python-3.10.0.tgz
Then execute the configure command to confirm if all the dependencies for the installation of Python 3.10 are met.
sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations
To start the build process. Execute the following make command. This takes quite a while, so be patient.
sudo make -j 2
The value โ2โฒ represents the number of CPU cores that can be confirmed using the nproc command. Adjust this value according to the number of CPU cores present on your system.
nproc
Finally, run the command below to install python binaries once the build process is complete:
sudo make altinstall
Once the installation is complete, verify that python 3.10 is installed in your machine. Run:
python3.10 --version
run command line to update python alternatives
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/local/bin/python3.10 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/local/bin/python3.10 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.9 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.9 2
python3 --version
python --version
Note: if python version is not 3.1, run command
sudo find / -type f -name python3.10
and copy python3.10 path, then runalias python=<PATH>
,alias python3=<PATH>
,alias pip=<PATH>
, andpip3=<PATH>
get python3 pip
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo python3 -m pip install pip --upgrade pip
we may encounter a lsb_release
issue here, run command line to edit lsb_release file
sudo nano /usr/bin/lsb_release
edit the first line to the following:
#! /usr/bin/python3.10
Note: more info please refer to this link
install venv
sudo apt-get install python3-venv
install Numpy1.21.6 in the venv using the command line
pip install numpy==1.22.4
Turn on your Pi and log in. We will install Xorg. To do this type in:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
If you only install xserver-xorg, you will not have the ability to launch the Xorg Display Server from the command line. This would be a problem if you are not planning on installing a login manager. Otherwise, you do not need to do this. If this is the case, you may want to also install xinit by typing in:
sudo apt-get install xinit
When you install XFCE, some essentials such as settings and file manager are included. By default, XFCE uses XFCE4 Terminal. This is optional to install, however if you choose not to install it, then XTerm will be the default Terminal app.. To install XFCE with XFCE4 Terminal, type in:
sudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-terminal
To clean up leftover packages, type in:
sudo apt-get clean
Note: DON'T USE
startx
YET!!! UNLESS YOU WANT TO SET UP YOUR OWN REMOTE CONTROL.More info about alternative GUI please refer this link
highly recommand using these apps to control and edit files on Pi
I used TV to remote control my Pi, easy setup and doesn't require a monitor A .deb file is a package file designed for the Debian systems package management system. The .deb file is an archive containing all the files that we need for TeamViewer.
wget https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/teamviewer-host_armhf.deb
To install the TeamViewer deb package, we will be making use of the dpkg utility
which is the base of the Debian package management software.
sudo dpkg -i teamviewer-host_armhf.deb
clean up the mess with the following command
sudo apt --fix-broken install
Connect to Teamviewer with account and password, so that every time Raspberry Pi boit up, it shows in the TeamViewer account's online device list, then could be eaisly connect
sudo teamviewer passwd <PASSWORD>
sudo teamviewer setup
Note:
<PASSWORD>
must start with number or letter, and must include special character.
use raspi-config
to set auto login to GUI
raspi-config
choose System Options
and select Boot / Auto Login
, then select the last option
reboot, and we will be direct to the desktop environment
sudo reboot
After the reboot, we can use TeamViewer to remote control.
Note: Some device needs some customization to the
config.txt
file from the Raspberry Pi Boot loader to achive proper headless remote control performance. More info please refer to this link
I use Pi-Apps to install other apps we need for this project
git clone https://github.com/botspot/pi-apps
~/pi-apps/install
use pi-apps to instal vs-code on Raspberry-Pi
use pi-apps to instal Chromium on Raspberry-Pi
Install mycroft as the voice assistance with Coqui TTS YourTTS model
You can find the mycroft-core repo from here
mkdir VA
cd ~/VA
python3 -m venv .
source ./bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git
cd mycroft-core
bash dev_setup.sh
deactivate
installing Coqui TTS server in the main directory
cd ./../
mkdir Coqui
cd Coqui
python3 -m venv .
source ./bin/activate
now we enter the venv
, we need to set uo the TTS server here
pip install pip --upgrade
pip install tts --upgrade
Note: Only do this if you want customized voice
- Find the
server.py
file under TTS directory by running this linesudo find ./ -type f -name server.py
- Edit using command
sudo nano <PATH>/server.py
- find
synthesize.tts(...)
, addlanguage_name = "en",
inside the parante parantesis
Note: if encounter _lzma module not found, run command
sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev
andpip install backports.lzma
, then entersudo nano /usr/local/lib/python3.10/lzma.py
, change line 27 and 28 to ""
initiate the server by running the folowing line
tts-server --model_name tts_models/multilingual/multi-dataset/your_tts --use_cuda=false
