WARNING

The last image we created for now is Beta 2! Did you check the alice CLI install for an updated Alice? We will resume image creation when version 1 is released.

• Download our prefabricated Raspbian image:
  • Direct download
  • This image has nothing more than Project Alice and a few dependencies.
  • If you wonder what's inside, check the Preinstalled Packages Section
• Extract the image from the 7zip archive

TIP

Use 7zip, it's open source, fast, has one of the best compression ratio and comes with nice features

• Flash the image to your SD card
• do not place any wpa_supplicant.conf or ssh file in /boot
• do not boot your raspberry before doing this next point!!
• Edit the /boot/ProjectAlice.yaml file. If there's no ProjectAlice.yaml file on the /boot partition, grab the latest from sources: ProjectAlice.yaml
• Configure it according to your information and needs. All configurations have a little explanation, but most should be self-explanatory.
• Make sure to have a space after the colons:
  • Wrong: forceRewrite:yes
  • Correct: forceRewrite: yes
• If the option value contains any special characters, enclose the whole value with double quotes:
  • Wrong: mqttPassword: a:%qJi
  • Correct: mqttPassword: "a:%qJi"
• Save it, unplug your SD card, plug it into your raspberry pi and power it up.
• Alice should boot by herself and connect to your Wi-Fi, update, configure and start. This may take a while, so do not unplug until she has spoken to you!
• If you have enabled the interface (by default), you can check what's going on by browsing to http://x.x.x.x:5000, replace with the Project Alice device's IP address.
• The SSH User is pi, and the password is umbrella
