Hello - I’m very new to both mycroft and the Linux command line terminal. I’m trying to change the wake word using PocketSphinx phonemes. I have a super n00b question: how/where do I edit the mycroft.conf file? Plz begin with the assumption that I’ve just begun playing with command line yesterday (I did). Should Mycroft be running in my ubuntu VM while I’m editing the code or am I editing code in a separate Python terminal orrrr? I’ve tried typing each of these into the Ubuntu terminal to no avail:
I get either Permission denied or “command not found”
Please go easy! I’m probably missing some hugely basic piece of information re: where I’m supposed to be editing the code from. If you could go real slow I’d appreciate it.
Welcome to the comunity and to mycroft, linux and all the fun stuff
You are on the right path, but you are right you need some basi knoledeges that the mycroft doc’s presume the reader has.
You have to (well you have other options to) be in a terminal in your ubuntu VM to edit files.
here is an introdusing to the linux terminal
On most linux systems the user is just a user, and has restricted privileges. To give more privileges start the command with sudo. To edit a file use an editor like nano.
So to edit a mycroft.conf you could write nano folowed by the filename (or path and filename) like this
Hi! I tried and had no success running th mycroft-config edit system. Running the latest version on my Mark 1. SSH enabled and I can sudo nano my mycroft.conf file just fine. However, to avoid any errors trying to add the Openhab skill i cannot use the configuration manager.
Do you just putty into your Mark 1 and after logging in just type the command?
