### Note:
**18/01/2020: Routine update and bug fixes.**
****************************************************************
**Before Starting the setup**
****************************************************************
**For Google Assistant**
1. Create a project in the Google's Action Console.
2. Download credentials--->.json file (refer to this doc for creating credentials https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/develop/python/config-dev-project-and-account)
**For Amazon Alexa**
1. Create a security profile for alexa-avs-sample-app if you already don't have one.
https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/wiki/Create-Security-Profile
2. Download the **"config.json"** file.
***************************************************************
**Setup Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Both**
***************************************************************
1. Clone the git using:
```
git clone https://github.com/shivasiddharth/Assistants-Pi
```
**DO NOT RENAME THE CREDENTIALS FILEs**
Place the Alexa **config.json in** file in the **/home/pi/Assistants-Pi/Alexa** directory.
Place the Google **client_secret.....json** file in the **/home/pi/** directory.
2. Make the installers executable using:
```
sudo chmod +x /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/prep-system.sh
sudo chmod +x /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/audio-test.sh
sudo chmod +x /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/installer.sh
```
3. Prepare the system for installing assistants by updating, upgrading and setting up audio using:
```
sudo /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/prep-system.sh
```
4. Restart the Pi using:
```
sudo reboot
```
5. Make sure that contents of asoundrc match the contents of asound.conf
Open a terminal and type:
```
sudo nano /etc/asound.conf
```
Open a second terminal and type:
```
sudo nano ~/.asoundrc
```
If the contents of .asoundrc are not same as asound.conf, copy the contents from asound.conf to .asoundrc, save using ctrl+x and y
6. Bonus Script - Test the audio setup using the following code (optional). **Dont panic if the test does not go through successfully, proceed with the installation**:
```
sudo /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/audio-test.sh
```
7. Restart the Pi using:
```
sudo reboot
```
8. Install the assistant/assistants using the following. This is an interactive script, so just follow the onscreen instructions:
```
sudo /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/installer.sh
```
9. After verification of the assistants, to make them auto start on boot:
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
```
sudo chmod +x /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/service-installer.sh
sudo /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/scripts/service-installer.sh
```
For Alexa:
```
sudo systemctl enable alexa.service
```
For Google Assistant:
```
sudo systemctl enable google-assistant.service
```
10. Authorize Alexa before restarting
```
sudo /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/Alexa/startsample.sh
```
### Manually Start The Alexa Assistant
Double click start.sh file in the /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/Alexa folder and choose to "Execute in the Terminal".
### Manually Start The Google Assistant
Open a terminal and execute the following:
```
/home/pi/env/bin/python -u /home/pi/Assistants-Pi/Google-Assistant/src/main.py --project_id 'replace this with the project id '--device_model_id 'replace this with the model id'
```
#### If you have issues with the Assistants strating on boot, you may have to setup PulseAudio as a system wide service. For further details refer this git https://github.com/shivasiddharth/PulseAudio-System-Wide
