Installation Instructions | ||
Simple Installation Instructions | ||
== | ||
Shairport Sync can be installed in lots of different Linux and Unix machines, and there are lots of variations to consider -- see the [README.md](https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/master/README.md) page for a fuller discussion. But here are really simple instructions for building and installing it on a Raspberry Pi B, 2B, 3B or 3B+. It is assumed that the Pi is running Raspbian Stretch Lite -- a GUI isn't needed, since Shairport Sync runs as a daemon program. | ||
|
||
Please refer to README.md for installation instructions. | ||
### Configure and Update | ||
Do the usual update and upgrade: | ||
``` | ||
# apt-get update | ||
# apt-get upgrade | ||
# rpi-update | ||
``` | ||
(Separately, if you haven't done so already, consider using the `raspi-config` tool to expand the file system to use the entire card.) | ||
|
||
### Activate the Improved Audio Driver | ||
Check the file `/boot/config.txt` and, if it's not there already, edit it to add the following line: | ||
``` | ||
audio_pwm_mode=2 | ||
``` | ||
Reboot. | ||
|
||
### Remove Old Copies | ||
Before you begin building Shairport Sync, it's best to search and remove any existing copies. Use the command `$ which shairport-sync` to find them. For example, if `shairport-sync` has been installed previously, this might happen: | ||
``` | ||
$ which shairport-sync | ||
/usr/local/bin/shairport-sync | ||
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/shairport-sync | ||
... | ||
``` | ||
Do this until no more are found. | ||
|
||
### Build and Install | ||
Okay,now let's get the tools and sources for building and installing Shairport Sync. | ||
|
||
First, install the packages needed by Shairport Sync: | ||
``` | ||
# apt-get install build-essential git xmltoman autoconf automake libtool libdaemon-dev libpopt-dev libconfig-dev libasound2-dev avahi-daemon libavahi-client-dev libssl-dev | ||
``` | ||
Next, download Shairport Sync, configure it, compile and install it: | ||
``` | ||
$ git clone https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync.git | ||
$ cd shairport-sync | ||
$ autoreconf -fi | ||
$ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --with-alsa --with-avahi --with-ssl=openssl --with-systemd | ||
$ make | ||
$ sudo make install | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Now to comfigure Shairport Sync. | ||
Here are the important options for the Shairport Sync configuration file at `/etc/shairport-sync.conf`: | ||
``` | ||
// Sample Configuration File for Shairport Sync on a Raspberry Pi using the built-in audio DAC | ||
general = | ||
{ | ||
drift_tolerance_in_seconds = 0.010; | ||
volume_range_db = 50; | ||
}; | ||
alsa = | ||
{ | ||
output_device = "hw:0"; | ||
mixer_control_name = "PCM"; | ||
}; | ||
``` | ||
Fourth, enable Shairport Sync to start automatically on boot up: | ||
``` | ||
$ sudo systemctl enable shairport-sync | ||
``` | ||
Fifth, either reboot the Pi or start the service: | ||
``` | ||
$ sudo systemctl start shairport-sync | ||
``` | ||
Sixth, enjoy! |
