Ok. Can't move past Step 9. The next steps don't work.... #129

I have tried this several times. Google assistant works great, but once it authorize and starts its test, nothing happens. I try a second terminal to do the next steps. "sudo chmod +x /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/service-installer.sh" and beyond and nothing happens. I can't authorize Alexa either. Which is why I wanted to try this project to begin with... Can you help?

Same here- what error were you getting. I've tried following 3 different set of instructions in 3 separate attempts.
The last error I get when 'authorizing' alexa in that step is: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl enable alexa.service Failed to enable unit: File alexa.service: No such file or directory

That and when I actually say "Alexa" it starts running this (and I know for a FACT that I have network connectivity). This is all after I actually got a chance to run the auth of this step, go to amazon/com and input the code it output in the terminal script instructions, and register successfully.

Without running service installer if you give systemd commands it will return with service not found only. It needs to be done only after authorizing Alexa. I have mentioned that in the readme clewrly. If Alexa is not authorized do not give the systemd commands or run the service installer. If you are getting limited mode check issue #89

Issue#89 did provide better detail- and the client id entered was not from 'otehr devices and platforms' so this one was on me. Not sure about the other dude, though. thanks for answering.
