A nice, simple, multilingual and intuitive way to install Open Voice OS and/or HiveMind using Bash, Whiptail (Newt) and Ansible.

curl, git and sudo packages must be installed before running the installer.

sh -c "curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-installer/main/installer.sh -o installer.sh && chmod +x installer.sh && sudo ./installer.sh && rm installer.sh"

Then follow the instructions display on screen.

To update the current Open Voice OS instance, backup your ~/.config/mycroft/mycroft.conf or ~/ovos/config/mycroft.conf (only if required) and re-run installer but answer "No" to the "Do you want to uninstall Open Voice OS?" question.

The installer supports a non-interactive (automated) process of installation by using a scenario file, this file must be created under the ~/.config/ovos-installer/ directory and should be named scenario.yaml.

Here is an example of a scenario to install Open Voice OS within Docker containers on a Raspberry Pi 4B with default skills and GUI support.

mkdir -p ~/.config/ovos-installer
cat <<EOF > ~/.config/ovos-installer/scenario.yaml
---
uninstall: false
method: containers
channel: development
profile: ovos
features:
  skills: true
  gui: true
rapsberry_pi_tuning: true
share_telemetry: true
EOF

Few scenarios are available as example in the scenarios directory of this repository.
