Yes, it’s possible to install MODEP on Raspbian:

  1. Set up our apt server:

    curl https://blokas.io/apt-setup.sh | sh

  2. sudo apt install modep -y.

    While the Jack backend is being installed, answer ‘yes’ to the realtime priority question asked (‘no’ works too, the answer you give doesn’t really matter for MODEP, as it’s started using systemd services)

  3. Edit /etc/jackdrc to set the command line for Jack backend, if you are using a different card than Pisound.

  4. Ensure that all the critical services are running, if one of them failed, the UI won’t be accessible. Start fixing from the jack service errors, then modep-mod-host and finally modep-mod-ui. Most likely cause of issues is Jack misconfiguration.

    sudo systemctl status jack
sudo systemctl status modep-mod-host
sudo systemctl status modep-mod-ui

    Use start or restart instead of status in above commands to start the services. Use sudo journalctl -u jack and similar to see the full output logs.

  5. To get MODEP to autorun on startup run:

    sudo systemctl enable modep-mod-ui
