# Rdio Scanner from Github

Sometimes you don't want to run a Docker image, so you can follow these instructions to clone the [Rdio Scanner GitHub repository](https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner).

# 1. Prerequisites

Make sure your operating system is **fully updated** and that the prerequisites are installed. Also make sure that you have enough memory to compile the Angular web application.

- [build-essential](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=build-essential) on _Ubuntu_ or its equivalent specific to your Linux distribution
- [curl](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- [ffmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/)
- [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- [Node.js LTS or higher](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (get it [here](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions) if your distro doesn't have the required package)
- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm)
- [openssl](https://openssl.org/)
- [python](https://www.python.org/) (python is required to compile sqlite node package)
- [SQLite 3](https://www.sqlite.org/download.html)

```bash
$ which curl ffmpeg gcc g++ git make node npm python sqlite3
/usr/bin/curl
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
/usr/bin/gcc
/usr/bin/g++
/usr/bin/git
/usr/bin/make
/usr/bin/node
/usr/bin/npm
/use/bin/openssl
/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/sqlite3
```

> Ubuntu distro provides an old Node.js package. Make sure to use at least the [current LTS version](https://nodejs.org). Use the link above to get the latest LTS version.

# 2. Clone the Rdio Scanner GitHub Repository

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner.git
Cloning into 'rdio-scanner'...

remote: Counting objects: 100% (1384/1384), done.

```

# 3. Start Rdio Scanner

```bash
$ node run server
Server is running at http://0.0.0.0:3000
```

You can also configure systemd to start the server, see the file [docs/examples/rdio-scanner/rdio-scanner.service](./docs/examples/rdio-scanner/rdio-scanner.service) for an example.

# 4. Configure Rdio Scanner

Read the this document [docs/config.md](./config.md).

# 5. Update Rdio Scanner

If new commits have been pushed to the [Rdio Scanner GitHub repository](https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner), you can easily update like this:

```bash
$ node update
Pulling new version from github... done
Updating node modules... done
Building client app... done
Please restart Rdio Scanner
```

# 6. Resetting the administrator password

Besides resetting the administrator password from the administrative dashboard, you can also reset the administrator password from the command line.

```bash
$ node server reset-admin-password newpassword
Admin password has been reset.
```

If you do not specify a password after the `reset-admin-password` command, the default password will be configured, which is `rdio-scanner`.

# 7. Finally

Remember that [Rdio Scanner](https://github.com/chuot/rdio-scanner) must be supplied with audio files from a recorder. Either you use a `dirWatch` to monitor a folder, or you use the API with an `upload script`. See the [examples folder](./examples) for some examples.
