I want to run mycroft-core without root, but the dev_setup.py script requires root for a few steps (installing dependencies and some directory creation).
I’ve changed the script wherever necessary (mainly changed directories to $HOME) for what I can tell, and have manually installed the dependencies for debian (found in the function debian_install in dev_setup.sh).
However, when I run ./start-mycroft.sh, Mycroft just keeps telling me “Please wait a moment as I finish booting up”.
The microphone looks to register and I can trigger the “Hey Mycroft”, but that’s when I get the booting up reply.
Thanks! I tried with this now, and it seems like it maybe worked?
Mycroft doesn’t say “waiting for boot…” anymore. However, it can’t understand what I’m saying although “Hey Mycroft” triggers 99% of the time. I tried “Tell me a joke” and “Make me laugh” many times.
What’s default skill which is the easiest thing to pronounce, or a way to test that skills work?
Additionally it might be relevant that there are no messages in the Log Output window after
