Installation

A comprehensive installation guide is available here.

Please note that installing BirdNET-Pi on top of other servers is not supported. If this is something that you require, please open a discussion for your idea and inquire about how to contribute to development.

Raspberry Pi 3B[+] and 0W2 installation guide available here

The system can be installed with:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/main/newinstaller.sh | bash

The installer takes care of any and all necessary updates, so you can run that as the very first command upon the first boot, if you'd like.

The installation creates a log in $HOME/installation-$(date "+%F").txt.

Access

The BirdNET-Pi can be accessed from any web browser on the same network:

  • http://birdnetpi.local OR your Pi's IP address
  • Default Basic Authentication Username: birdnet
  • Password is empty by default. Set this in "Tools" > "Settings" > "Advanced Settings"

Please take a look at the wiki and discussions for information on

Updating

Use the web interface and go to "Tools" > "System Controls" > "Update." If you encounter any issues with that, or suspect that the update did not work for some reason, please save its output and post it in an issue where we can help.

Uninstallation

/usr/local/bin/uninstall.sh && cd ~ && rm -drf BirdNET-Pi

Troubleshooting and Ideas

*Hint: A lot of weird problems can be solved by simply restarting the core services. Do this from the web interface "Tools" > "Services" > "Restart Core Services" Having trouble or have an idea? Submit an issue for trouble and a discussion for ideas. Please do not submit an issue as a discussion -- the issue tracker solicits information that is needed for anyone to help -- discussions are not for issues.

PLEASE search the repo for your issue before creating a new one. This repo has nothing to do with the validity of the detection results, so please do not start any issues around "False positives."

Sharing

Please join a Discussion!! and please join BirdWeather!! I hope that if you find BirdNET-Pi has been worth your time, you will share your setup, results, customizations, etc. HERE and will consider making your installation public.

Internationalization:

The bird names are in English by default, but other localized versions are available thanks to the wonderful efforts of @patlevin. Use the web interface's "Tools" > "Settings" and select your "Database Language" to have the detections in your language.
