# Create hyperion directory and checkout the code from github ## Arch
See [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=hyperion&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go) for PKGBUILDs on arch. If the PKGBUILD does not work ask questions there please.
## OSX
To install on OS X you either need Homebrew or Macport but Homebrew is the recommended way to install the packages. To use Homebrew XCode is required as well, use `brew doctor` to check your install.
First you need to install the dependencies:
```
brew install qt5
brew install cmake
brew install libusb
brew install doxygen

# Compiling and installing Hyperion
### The general quick way (without big comments)
assume your home is /home/pi
```bash
cd git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng.git hyperion
cd hyperion
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j $(nproc)
# optional: install into your system
make install/strip
# to uninstall (not very well tested, please keep that in mind)
make uninstall
# ... or run it from compile directory
bin/hyperiond myconfig.json
# webui is located on localhost:8099
```
### Download
Create hyperion directory and checkout the code from github

``` ```
On a Mac with Sierra you won't be able to copy these files to the ``/usr/bin/`` folder due to Sierra's file protection. You can copy those files to ``/usr/local/bin`` instead. ### Install hyperion into your system
```bash
cp ./bin/hyperion-remote /usr/local/bin
cp ./bin/hyperiond /usr/local/bin
```
The better way to do this is to use the make install script, which copies all necessary files to ``/usr/local/share/hyperion``:
```bash
sudo make install
```
You can combine the install command with the strip command to install and cleanup in one task:
Copy all necessary files to ``/usr/local/share/hyperion``
```bash ```bash
sudo make install/strip sudo make install/strip
``` ```
# Copy the effect folder (if you did not use the normal installation methode before) If you want to install into another location call this before installing
```
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/hyperion/effects && sudo cp -R ../effects/ /usr/local/share/hyperion/effects/ ```bash
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/pi/apps ..
``` ```
This will install to ``/home/pi/apps/share/hyperion``

## **Important notice!**
Hyperion.NG is under heavy development. This version is currently _only for development_ purpose.
Please do not use it for your 'productiv' setup!
Current new deps (libs) If you want to use hyperion as 'normal user', please use [current stable version](https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion)

94MB free disc space for deps Hyperion is an opensource 'AmbiLight' implementation with support for many LED devices and video grabbers.
More information can be found on the official Hyperion [Wiki](https://wiki.hyperion-project.org) The main features of Hyperion are:
* Low CPU load makes it perfect for SoCs like Raspberry Pi
* Json interface which allows easy integration into scripts
* A command line utility to for testing and integration in automated environment
* Priority channels are not coupled to a specific led data provider which means that a provider can post led data and leave without the need to maintain a connection to Hyperion. This is ideal for a remote application (like our Android app).
* Kodi-checker which checks the playing status of Kodi and decides whether or not to capture the screen.
* Black border detector.
* A scriptable (Python) effect engine
* A web ui to configure and remote control hyperion
