Further Installation Issues

[alecjcook]

The following steps were taken to install birdnet-pi

• Installer the latest Raspbien Lite OS-64 on USB using the Raspberry Pi Imager v1.8.4
• Used the raspi-config to expand the file system and rebooted
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade
• sudo apt-get install git jq
• run curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/main/newinstaller.sh | bash

The installation process ends thus:

+ pip3 install -U -r /home/birder/BirdNET-Pi/requirements.txt

The installation exited unsuccessfully.

cat /home/birder/BirdNET-Pi/requirements.txt shows an empty file

if i try and fix this by: wget https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/blob/main/requirements.txt /home/birder/BirdNET-Pi/requirements.txt and then restart the installation with bash $HOME/BirdNET-Pi/scripts/install_birdnet.sh I eventually get the following error:

+ pip3 install -U -r /home/birder/BirdNET-Pi/requirements.txt

I'm pretty sure you still need Debian "Bullseye" (Legacy) not the latest OS version.

https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/issues/1049 Install OS "PI OS Legacy 64-Bit" This installation guide is out of date...

I just tried an installation on a Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB without any problems. I guess it's important what version of OS you are using. This file works: 2023-05-03-raspios-bullseye-arm64-lite.img.xz You must specifically select the file in the Raspberry Pi Imager.

From what I gather the install_services.sh has php before php-fpm and php requires apache2 which is a new debian version thing

so moving it after php-fpm doesn't install apache:

Are you able to test this:

https://github.com/sarvesh-lad/BirdNET-Pi/

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sarvesh-lad/BirdNET-Pi/main/newinstaller.sh | bash

Notes on my fork:

1. it assumes 0 as LATTITUDE and LONGITUDE cause that IP-API site is finicky, you can always change that in settings
2. it installs tfruntime directly from pip
3. Has the install services fix I mentioned above.
