Platform Specific Instructions

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

• Linux
• Synology
• Raspberry Pi
• Windows

Linux

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.

Synology

See: #22

Raspberry Pi

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

Windows

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

• Type airsonos to run.

Building from source on Windows is not recommended.
