Setup a Raspberry pi with Pianoteq 6

Step 1:

Flash a SD card with newest Raspbian OS with desktop version

Step 2:

On Raspberry pi:

1. put sd card in

2. plug in keyboard, mouse and monitor

3. plug the power cord

4. connect to wifi

5. find the ip, which we will use it when back to host

6. Enable SSH. Open terminal, type commands underneath:

   sudo systemctl enable ssh && sudo systemctl start ssh

Step 3:

On host:

1. ssh-copy-id to put your ssh key into raspberry pi via ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub pi@the_ip_addr_above
2. clone this project to your computer
3. download a pianoteq linux version, put the .7z file into library folder of this project
4. change the $your_raspberry_ip_here variable in inventory file with the value your observed on step 2.5
5. install ansible if you don't have it via command: brew install ansible
6. run following command:

$ ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml

Then wait for the device reboot

Note: Some step (especially for the first time while updating the system) might take 10 mins+, so be patient.

Step 4:

On Raspberry pi:

1. activate your pianoteq with your serial number
2. Connect the speaker/headphone, MIDI controller keyboard
3. Config input, output and MIDI settings in the Pianoteq setting menu.

And time to make some noise with fun.
