Installation
************
To get a basic version of Mopidy running, you need Python and the
:doc:`GStreamer library <gstreamer>`. To use Spotify with Mopidy, you also need
:doc:`libspotify and pyspotify <libspotify>`. Mopidy itself can either be
installed from the Python package index, PyPI, or from git.
Install dependencies

Install latest release
======================
To install the currently latest release of Mopidy using ``pip``::
sudo aptitude install python-setuptools python-pip # On Ubuntu/Debian
sudo brew install pip # On OS X
sudo pip install Mopidy
To later upgrade to the latest release::
sudo pip install -U Mopidy
If you for some reason can't use ``pip``, try ``easy_install``.
Install development version
===========================
If you want to follow Mopidy development closer, you may install the
development version of Mopidy::
sudo aptitude install git-core # On Ubuntu/Debian
sudo brew install git # On OS X
git clone git://github.com/jodal/mopidy.git
cd mopidy/
sudo python setup.py install
To later update to the very latest version::
cd mopidy/
git pull
sudo python setup.py install
For an introduction to ``git``, please visit `git-scm.com
<http://git-scm.com/>`_.
Settings
========
Mopidy reads settings from the file ``~/.mopidy/settings.py``, where ``~``
means your *home directory*. If your username is ``alice`` and you are running
Linux, the settings file should probably be at
``/home/alice/.mopidy/settings.py``.
You can either create this file yourself, or run the ``mopidy`` command, and it
will create an empty settings file for you.
Music from Spotify
------------------
If you are using the Spotify backend, which is the default, enter your Spotify
Premium account's username and password into the file, like this::
SPOTIFY_USERNAME = u'myusername'
SPOTIFY_PASSWORD = u'mysecret'
Music from local storage
------------------------
If you want use Mopidy to play music you have locally at your machine instead
of using Spotify, you need to change the backend from the default to
:mod:`mopidy.backends.local` by adding the following line to your settings
file::
BACKENDS = (u'mopidy.backends.local.LocalBackend',)
You may also want to change some of the ``LOCAL_*`` settings. See
:mod:`mopidy.settings`, for a full list of available settings.
Connecting from other machines on the network
---------------------------------------------
As a secure default, Mopidy only accepts connections from ``localhost``. If you
want to open it for connections from other machines on your network, see
the documentation for :attr:`mopidy.settings.MPD_SERVER_HOSTNAME`.
Running Mopidy
==============
To start Mopidy, simply open a terminal and run::
mopidy
When Mopidy says ``MPD server running at [127.0.0.1]:6600`` it's ready to
accept connections by any MPD client. You can find tons of MPD clients at
http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients. We use GMPC and ncmpcpp during development.
The first is a GUI client, and the second is a terminal client.
To stop Mopidy, press ``CTRL+C``.
