Hi Kev,
The installer is a community generated initiative and I believe is quite out of date unless there's a newer version I haven't seen. Out of interest, which site did you get the installer from?
The best way to get started on Debian is to follow our Linux guide. This really is four simple commands to install Mycroft in your home directory:
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git
cd mycroft-core
bash dev_setup.sh
Then use mycroft-msm start debug
to run it with a nice command line interface.
Let us know if you run into any trouble.
Hi Kris,
There's a link to the GitHub page for the installer (https://github.com/MycroftAI/installers) on https://mycroft.ai/get-mycroft where it says "KDE Plasmoid". That's how I ended up here. :)
kev.
Ha of course, my bad. There are some .deb
packages floating around the internet that people sometimes try to use, and my mind jumped to those.
The Qt packages are from the KDE realm and are required for the plasmoid rather than mycroft-core. If you take a look at the manual instructions on the readme, you can find these packages under step 2, after mycroft core is already installed.
Just to verify, are you running KDE? Plasmoids are widgets for the KDE Plasma desktop, so if you're running KDE I thought those packages would already be on your system.
If you're running GNOME, there is a community built shell extension however I haven't had much luck with it lately.
Hi there,
Just tried running the Debian installer on Debian 9 (Stretch) and it fails as the packages qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin and qtdeclarative5-models-plugin are not available.
Some quick Googling suggests that they're Ubuntu rather than Debian packages (e.g., http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=135520).
