AWTRIX 2.0 can run on any platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux), the only requirement is the support of Java 8 (1.8_232). It is a non-GUI application, so no desktop environment is required. However, it is advisable not to use a desktop distribution to save processor power and memory. So use something like Rasbian lite.
Please note that Java is not very resource efficient. If you want to use a Raspberry, I recommend at least a Raspberry 3+ or comparable. AWTRIX runs with a ZeroW, but slower.
This tutorial describes the installation on a Linux machine.
This short example shows how to start the Java application. Go to the next point for installation on a Linux machine.
The current AWTRIX Java Application download
and run it from the command line or terminal.
Linux & MacOS:
sudo java -jar awtrix.jar
Windows:
java -jar awtrix.jar
!> sudo is not always needed. It depends in which folder you want to start the application. AWTRIX has to create new folders and files, so in a few cases AWTRIX has no write permissions.
Enter the following command in your SSH terminal for automatic installation
wget -N https://blueforcer.de/awtrix/awtrix.sh ; sudo sh awtrix.sh
?> Shortly after the start the web interface can be accessed via http://awtrix_ip:7000.
Starting AWTRIX
Sudo service awtrix start
Stop AWTRIX
Sudo service awtrix stop
AWTRIX Restart
Sudo service awtrix restart
Recommended: Dockerhub
Replace the awtrix.jar or run the setupscript again.
