Requirements

BirdNET-stream aims to be able to run on any 64-bit Linux computer. It has been tested on Fedora and Debian.

It should work on a Raspberry Pi (or other Single Board Computer) with a USB microphone or Sound Card (not tested yet).

Installation

Warning BirdNET-stream is in early development, and may not work properly...

On debian based systems (tested on Debian Bullseye), the following command should allow you to install the base components without too much trouble:

# Change to your installation directory here, /home/$USER/Documents/BirdNET-stream for instance, or /opt/birdnet-stream, or whatever
cd /path/to/installation/directory
# Download installation script 
curl -0 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UncleSamulus/BirdNET-stream/main/install.sh
# Run installation script:
chmod +x ./install.sh
./install.sh

I recommend to add DEBUG=1 before this command to see the installation steps:

DEBUG=1 ./install.sh

To install from a specific git branch, add BRANCH=<branch> before the command, for instance:

BRANCH=dev DEBUG=1 ./install.sh

For finer control, or to adapt to your system, you can follow the instructions in the INSTALL.md file (it may unfortunatly not be accurate for your system).

Usage

BirdNET-stream web application can be accessed on any web browser at https://birdnet.home, from your local network, or at any other hostname you set in nginx configuration, if your public IP is accessible from the internet.
