Installation

AirSonos requires node.js v0.10.x installed to run. (Progress for 0.11.x support here)

Install via npm

$ npm install airsonos -g

Install latest via source

$ git clone https://github.com/stephen/airsonos.git
$ cd airsonos
$ npm install -g

Some non-OS X platforms require additional dependencies or steps to work.

On linux machines, there are dependencies for libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev libasound2-dev packages (or equivalent). On distributions with apt...

$ sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev libasound2-dev

for yum-based distros (CentOS/RHEL):

$ yum install avahi avahi-compat-libdns_sd avahi-compat-libdns_sd-devel

Note that for some distributions, nodejs must be symlinked to node prior to install.

You will likely need to overclock your raspberry pi to achieve acceptable performance. (Working on making this suck less.)

There is a pre-packaged Windows install that you can use.

Ensure that 32-bit node.js (version 0.10.33, 32-bit) is installed.
Download and Install the Bonjour for Windows SDK (requires an AppleID)
Download airsonos_windows_x86.zip
Create the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm if it doesn't already exist.
Unzip the contents of this package at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm\, so that airsonos and airsonos.cmd are directly inside the \npm\ folder.
Open a command prompt and type where airsonos. The output should look something like:

C:\Users\stephen>where airsonos
C:\Users\stephen\AppData\Roaming\npm\airsonos
C:\Users\stephen\AppData\Roaming\npm\airsonos.cmd

Building from source on Windows is not recommended.
