Mopidy fails to install

Support
#1

I have a Pirate Audio Line Out card attached to a Raspberry Pi 3, running the latest Raspi-OS. I am not using the default pi user. I created a new user, bob, so that I can ssh into the R-Pi from my desktop.

I have run the following code:

git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/pirate-audio
cd pirate-audio/mopidy
sudo ./install.sh

The install script runs, but it fails to create a mopidy user, it fails to create an /etc/mopidy folder, and hence there is no /etc/mopidy/mopidy.conf file. The Iris webserver does not respond to http://192.168.178.49:6680. 192.168.178.49 is the R-Pi’s local IP address in my LAN

What can I try next, please?

Bob

#2

I made some progress by creating the /etc/mopidy folder and re-running the install script. This time, it wrote the mopidy.conf file correctly. So, the install script is not creating the folder.

I also created the user ‘mopidy’

sudo useradd mopidy

I have also installed the mopidy-dLeyna plugin, but it does not show up on the Iris webpage, so I am unable to connect to the DLNA server running on my desktop machine.
