Posted August 2, 20196 yr I bought one of the Canakits with noobs preinstalled. I successfly installed raspbian. It looks like a windows desktop and I'm not sure where to go to do the install script for polyglot. Please help. I don't have my ISY yet. Supposed to be delivered Monday. Thanks!

August 2, 20196 yr I just setup a Polyglot server a few days ago. Watching these videos helped me. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCQEDhX2eETV24S_UDJJnDw Jim

I'm just not sure where to type the script to install Polyglot. The video doesn't seem to have instructions for this because Noobs wasn't used. Sorry for the stupid questions. Ugh.

The video doesn't seem to have instructions for this because Noobs wasn't used. Sorry for the stupid questions. Ugh. It is covered in the "Polyglot Install" video. James doesn't say he is in the Raspian terminal. But that is what is displayed at the beginning of the video. If you've set up a keyboard and monitor you can do it locally from within terminal. If not, like me, you log in via SSH. In either case, you do it from the Raspian command line. Jim
August 2, 20196 yr If you get errors with files missing, get a proper Raspbian installation image, and dump the NOOBS. I had trouble with three different NOOBs installations from RPi 1 to RPi 3 where none of the help websites or forums solutions ever worked. NOOBS was always missing standard packages in my Raspbian installation. The full Raspbian install images are available online somewhere but I can't remember where. A simple search should find it easily.
August 3, 20196 yr Author Thanks for the help! I have successfully installed Raspbian Buster Lite and Polyglot. I received the following message: "Done! Login to Polyglot v2 at https:$hostip:$hostport" I am at the pi@raspberrypi: prompt. How do I login in to that address? I have no web browser. When I used noobs, it had a browser. Please help.

If you follow the videos, they give you step by step instructions on getting setup. All you need to do is type the address in of your rpi and you're in

Use the web browser from your PC.

August 3, 20196 yr Invalid or did you get a "security warning"? You will get the security warning or error but there will be a "Advanced" button or link depending on the browser you're using to continue to the site. Did you replace $hostip:$hostport with the actual IP Address and Port number of the Raspberry Pi? If you are in fact getting a page not found or 404 then it's possible the web server on the Pi is not running or your local firewall is possibly blocking it?

Wasn’t using actual ip/port. I did ifconfig and got the ip but where do I find the port number? Thank you.

August 3, 20196 yr Its not listed in the post if you started the link with https://, its an SSL page example: https://192.168.0.100:3000 Paul

August 3, 20196 yr Author I tried "sudo systemctl status polyglot-v-2 service" and it says "service could not be found." I don't understand that because previously I got the message that said "Done! Login to Polyglot v2 at https:$hostip:$hostport". I tried logging in from my PC using the ip of my pi with port 3000 but it says "safari failed to open page." Any clue what I'm doing wrong?

August 3, 20196 yr You're running this? # Run the Install Script wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalDevicesInc/polyglot-v2/master/scripts/install.sh | bash -e If so then it is odd that it's not installing. I saw in earlier posts you had questions/issues with setting up the Raspberry Pi? Was that all worked out? What error do you get when you run this? sudo systemctl enable polyglot-v2.service

I was able to get it installed. I'm at the pi@raspberrypi prompt and tried the sudo command you gave me and got failed to enable unit: unit file polyglot-v2.service does not exist. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Ugh.
August 3, 20196 yr Something is failing during the install. If you ran the above install command and you're getting an error on the last command I provided then polyglot is not installed correctly. Something went wrong.
