Installation (continued.)

• Install requirements via sudo apt install sox ffmpeg libasound2-dev

• for Beaglebone: Use BirdNET-Analyzer @ 5b6d1c3. As this is the last model that is fast enough for this platform

• for BeagleBone: sudo apt instal llvm-dev libatlas-base-dev libsndfile1

• for BeagleBone: pip3 install numba==0.56.4

• for BeagleBone: pip3 install beaglebone/tflite_runtime-2.16.0-cp39-cp39-linux_armv7l.whl

• Install dependencies via pip3 install -r requirements.txt

• Run the server: cd $HOME/birdnetapp/BirdNET-Analyzer && python3 server.py

• Run the app: cd $HOME/birdnetapp && python3 main.py

• Optional: install systemd services to run on startup via birdnet_main.service and birdnet_server.service

sudo cp birdnet_server@.service  /lib/systemd/system/
sudo cp birdnet_main@.service  /lib/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable birdnet_server@$USER.service 
sudo systemctl start birdnet_server@$USER.service
