Before Direwolf is downloaded and compiled, we should first update our package database.
From terminal, run the following command.
sudo apt-get update
Now we need to install a library file for the ALSA sound software.
From terminal run the following command.
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
On to downloading, compiling, and installing Direwolf Beta.
Remembering that each line is a new command.
From terminal, run the following commands.
cd ~ git clone https://www.github.com/wb2osz/direwolf cd direwolf git checkout dev make sudo make install make install-conf
In the box below is a generic configuration for Direwolf, which contains information on the most common settings.
The file can be found in the main directory of the users folder. Normally this will be found in /home/pi/direwolf.conf
For ease, I would recommend copying and pasting this config to your direwolf.conf file.
