Install from source¶
If you are on Linux, but can't install from the APT archive or from the Arch Linux repository, you can install Mopidy
from PyPI using the pip
installer.
If you are looking to contribute or wish to install from source using git
please follow the directions here.
First of all, you need Python 2.7. Check if you have Python and what version by running:
python --version
You need to make sure you have
pip
, the Python package installer. You'll also need a C compiler and the Python development headers to build pyspotify later.This is how you install it on Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip
And on Arch Linux from the official repository:
sudo pacman -S base-devel python2-pip
And on Fedora Linux from the official repositories:
sudo yum install -y gcc python-devel python-pip
Note
On Fedora Linux, you must replace
pip
withpip-python
in the following steps.Then you'll need to install GStreamer >= 1.2.3, with Python bindings. GStreamer is packaged for most popular Linux distributions. Search for GStreamer in your package manager, and make sure to install the Python bindings, and the "good" and "ugly" plugin sets.
If you use Debian/Ubuntu you can install GStreamer like this:
sudo apt-get install python-gst-1.0 \ gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly \ gstreamer1.0-tools
If you use Arch Linux, install the following packages from the official repository:
sudo pacman -S gst-python2 gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly
If you use Fedora you can install GStreamer like this:
sudo yum install -y python-gstreamer1 gstreamer1-plugins-good \ gstreamer1-plugins-ugly
If you use Gentoo you can install GStreamer like this:
emerge -av gst-python gst-plugins-meta
gst-plugins-meta
is the one that actually pulls in the plugins you want, so pay attention to the USE flags, e.g.alsa
,mp3
, etc.Install the latest release of Mopidy:
sudo pip install -U mopidy
This will use
pip
to install the latest release of Mopidy from PyPI. To upgrade Mopidy to future releases, just rerun this command.Finally, you need to set a couple of config values, and then you're ready to run Mopidy.
Installing extensions¶
If you want to use any Mopidy extensions, like Spotify support or Last.fm scrobbling, you need to install additional Mopidy extensions.
You can install any Mopidy extension directly from PyPI with pip
. To list
all the extensions available from PyPI, run:
pip search mopidy
Note that extensions installed from PyPI will only automatically install Python dependencies. Please refer to the extension's documentation for information about any other requirements needed for the extension to work properly.
For a full list of available Mopidy extensions see Extensions.
