Getting Started in Ubuntu - Development Environment

Mycroft Project
#4

Same here on Ubuntu 16.04 :

workon: command not found

(I obviously ran dev_setup.sh before :wink: )

I don’t find defaults.ini file in the mycroft repo :innocent:

#5

@DarkSide they are in Mycroft/Mycroft/configuration/defaults/ (not actually looking at the project right now, but pretty sure that is the location. Let me follow up in a bit.

@ryanleesipes Yes, I found it ! Thanks Ryan !

Now, the workon: command not found problem… I hope I will find a solution after my work day. :wink:

#7

It works now. I just restarted my Ubuntu ^^.

So, the procedure :

cd <path_to_mycroft_repo>/mycroft ./build_host_setup.sh sudo apt-get install curl espeak libssl-dev ./dev_setup.sh

Restart your OS and then

cd <path_to_mycroft_repo>/mycroft workon mycroft

:sunny:

Oh yes, I’ve ran into this every time I have set stuff up. That is going into the README.

#9

Hey thanks! I ran into that probem too. I have been too busy lately to get a chance to trouble shoot it. That was the first issue I ran into.

#10

I had a question, after compilation and set up how do we interface with the AI? Do we start with the terminal badh shell? Or does it automaticly respond to voice commands? If I were to put in the IP of my virtual machine (ubuntu) into a web browser, would I bee able to go to a simple web page to login and setup / configure the system? Do you have any videos of how you bring up the servies and interface while you are testing your system?

#11

Open 3 terminals in the Mycroft checkout dir:
Terminal 1
./start.sh service
Terminal 2
./start.sh skills
Terminal 3
./start.sh voice

If you want them to background in one terminal use &;
./start.sh service &

Expect this to get better :wink:

after those services are started, can you enter questions to it via text in a bash shell? or does it have to be through voice activation only?

#13

@aatchison That’s exactly what I did and my first request was “Mycroft, tell me a joke”. I was not disappointed. :smile:
It made me laugh :grin:

#14

Good question, I also wander how to interact with Skills without using the voice ?

#15

There is also:
./start.sh cli --quiet

ok cool thanks, i will have to check that out once i get some more time on my hands.

#17

Sorry to appear absolutely clueless (which I am) but what is meant by the Mycroft ‘checkout’ directory?
:confused:

#18

The checkout directory is just the folder where you downloaded mycroft-core. :slight_smile:

#19

ah, thanks, makes sense I guess cheers!

#20

I resolved this with help from the Slack channel. I had setup the environment as sudo. I re-ran dev_setup.sh as my normal user and this fixed everything.

#21

How can I resolve the error ImportError: cannot import name WebSocketApp?

#22

Here’s a working Dockerfile for setting up the mycroft-core development environment, in case there’s any other non-Ubuntu users interested. It’s tested with Fedora 23 as the host OS but should work with Mac OS or any Linux distribution.

FROM ubuntu:14.04

# Add mycroft-core dependencies from build_host_setup.sh and curl
RUN apt-get update
RUN sudo apt-get install -y \
    git \
    python \
    python-dev \
    python-virtualenv \
    python-gobject-dev \
    virtualenvwrapper \
    libtool \
    libffi-dev \
    libssl-dev \
    autoconf \
    bison \
    swig \
    libglib2.0-dev \
    s3cmd \
    portaudio19-dev \
    mpg123 \
    curl

RUN sudo easy_install --upgrade virtualenv

# Get Mycroft Core
RUN git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git

# Make non-root user in container
RUN useradd mycroft -d /mycroft-core && chown -R mycroft /mycroft-core
USER mycroft

# Run dev_setup script as non-root user
WORKDIR mycroft-core
RUN ./dev_setup.sh
