Volumio Buster Installation

1st step:

---

Install Volumio to an sd card

• download Volumio Image:

https://volumio.com/en/get-started/

*download "Win32Diskimager":

https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
->run it to install the software

• Insert the SD card into your SD card reader -> Note the drive letter assigned to the SD card. (You can see the drive letter in the left hand column of Windows Explorer, for example G:)
• Run Win32DiskImager utility.
• Select the downloaded Volumio image file
• In the device box, select the drive letter of the SD card. (Be careful to select the correct drive: if you choose the wrong drive you could destroy the data on your computer's hard disk!)
• Click 'Write' and wait for the write to complete.
• Exit the imager and do NOT eject the SD card.

2nd step:

---

Prepare the /boot partition:

2 a)

• Open your File-Explorer/File-Browser and open the SD-Card Folder, which is labled as "boot"
• Check if there is a .txt file called "userconfig.txt" -> if not, make one (empty)

2 b) ssh File:

• In the SD-Card Folder "boot", create a new textfile without any letters in it.
• rename the textfile to "ssh" ("newtextfile.txt -> rename -> ssh)

3rd step:

---

Boot the Raspberry Pi up and get PuTTy / KiTTy ready

• put sd-card in the raspberry, (connet it to a network) and let it boot
• download either PuTTy or KiTTy (ssh clients)
• research on how to connect to a Raspberry using ssh search
• log in to the Pi with ssh, standard user=volumio, standard pw=volumio

4th step:

---

log in to the Web-UI and finish the "first start setup"

if you want to use a HDMI (Touch-) Display, please install The Touch-Display Plugin, in Volumio-Plugin-Menu, first, then:

git clone http://github.com/Maschine2501/NR1-UI.git

bash NR1-UI/installbuster.sh

Important!

If you have activated CAVA/Spectrum during Setup:

go to WebUI (volumio.local) -> settings -> playback -> change to another device, save and switch back to your desired playback device and save aggain.

Now just do a reboot:

reboot

Here you are, all installed ;)

sudo journalctl -fu nr1uibuster.service

For Cava1:

sudo journalctl -fu cava1.service

Stop the service (the program):

sudo systemctl stop nr1uibuster.service

sudo systemctl stop cava1.service
