THIS IS THE GREATEST ALEXA TUTORIAL ON THE WEB THE MOST CLEAR AND EASY TO FOLLOW! he explains everything and it's up today 5 out of 5 stars this is number 1 and will recommend to anyone looking for a vid! thank you so much great tutorial!!

Good stuff thanks for the how-to.

My daughter and I followed Matthew's instructions last night and we got it working no problem in about 3 hours. The two other youtube videos we tried to learn from before we found this one were wrong or missing information. The only change I would suggest is that it took us about 1 hour and 5 minutes to build/install where Matthew says it will take 30 min (at 7:33 in the video). Might want to put some text in there indicating the possibility of much longer installs at this step.

Oh, and we used a Samson Go Mic Portable USB Condenser mic. We read in a few places that the raspberry pi software tends to be sensitive to what particular usb mic one uses. Not sure if this is true.

I am having A hard time installing Alexa on Raspberry Pi 3 with Noobs version 4.2 . Problem during the cd javaclient && mvn exec:exec it says The error was "Unable to load library 'vlc': Native library (linux-arm/libvlc.so) not found in reso

it works but the wake word dosnt work, and an error about sample rate any ideas? also how to auto start the alexa pi app upon startup?

Got it to work second time around, thanks, but how do i keep it running without having all the terminal windows open? I'd like it to go into @sleep' when not in use but wake up with the wake word. Any idea? thanks

Any idea why my Java Client says, "Tap to speak to Alexa", rather than the listening function as displayed in your tutorial? Wake word was activated in my installation options. Thanks for the helpful video!

What Happens if I reboot the pi?

i get to one point where the terminal asks me for github user name and password. I made one on github and it wont except it.

So i got to the last part where you log back into amazon and when it's supposed to say device tokens ready, instead it comes up with an amazon error page. Help please

I also have a same problem....

fatal: unable to access 'github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app.git/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Connection timed out please help me through it

With no offense. Why one will spend 100+ USD & several hours to build Alexa if we get ready made amazon echo for 40usd. Just curious.

once you have it on the pi you can do way more with it and completely customise it

Just big thanks! Question though, I noticed since your video the music part of the Amazon Dev section has changed, and can't even apply for it. How can we go about doing this? I noticed in campanion settings I set up stations, but she still says not supported. So I guess since she is a 'echo' she won't do the full tower experience with music. I guess thats a tradeoff amazon disabled for Pi users. Cant let us have EVERYTHING for free. Which I understand, them just giving us this much and being official is a big enough gesture.

How to make auto-start Alexa ,start Raspberry Pi after auto-start Alexa with wake word ,mean i plug DC in Raspberry Pi then start after sometime Auto ready Alexa with wake word. without type cmd

It is possible to activate this automatically at login ... so you don't need to ssh in at every boot. First you need to use this FORKED version of the Alexa app. Read the following page - the comments will lead you in the right direction. github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app/pull/431 Then you need to write 3 scripts that activate the 3 terminal commands at boot... This will skip the Amazon login at every boot and works GREAT for me.
