# Offline Installation Guide
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how to set up and use offline installation for the Kiwy Signage Player.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The offline installation system allows you to install the signage player on devices without internet access by pre-downloading all necessary packages.
|
|
|
|
## Directory Structure
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Kiwy-Signage/
|
|
├── repo/ # Offline packages repository
|
|
│ ├── python-wheels/ # Python packages (.whl files)
|
|
│ ├── system-packages/ # System package information
|
|
│ │ ├── apt-packages.txt # List of required apt packages
|
|
│ │ └── debs/ # Downloaded .deb files (optional)
|
|
│ └── README.md
|
|
├── download_offline_packages.sh # Download Python packages
|
|
├── download_deb_packages.sh # Download system .deb packages
|
|
└── install.sh # Smart installer (online/offline)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setup for Offline Installation
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Prepare on a Connected System
|
|
|
|
On a system with internet access (preferably Raspberry Pi OS):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clone the repository
|
|
git clone <repository-url>
|
|
cd Kiwy-Signage
|
|
|
|
# Download Python packages
|
|
bash download_offline_packages.sh
|
|
|
|
# (Optional) Download system .deb packages
|
|
bash download_deb_packages.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will populate the `repo/` folder with all necessary packages.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Transfer to Offline System
|
|
|
|
Copy the entire `Kiwy-Signage` directory to your offline system:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Using USB drive
|
|
cp -r Kiwy-Signage /media/usb/
|
|
|
|
# Or create a tarball
|
|
tar -czf kiwy-signage-offline.tar.gz Kiwy-Signage/
|
|
|
|
# On target system, extract:
|
|
tar -xzf kiwy-signage-offline.tar.gz
|
|
cd Kiwy-Signage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Install on Offline System
|
|
|
|
The installer automatically detects offline packages:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Automatic detection
|
|
bash install.sh
|
|
|
|
# Or explicitly specify offline mode
|
|
bash install.sh --offline
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Package Information
|
|
|
|
### Python Packages (requirements.txt)
|
|
|
|
- **kivy==2.1.0** - UI framework
|
|
- **requests==2.32.4** - HTTP library
|
|
- **bcrypt==4.2.1** - Password hashing
|
|
- **aiohttp==3.9.1** - Async HTTP client
|
|
- **asyncio==3.4.3** - Async I/O framework
|
|
|
|
### System Packages (APT)
|
|
|
|
See `repo/system-packages/apt-packages.txt` for complete list:
|
|
- Python development tools
|
|
- SDL2 libraries (video/audio)
|
|
- FFmpeg and codecs
|
|
- GStreamer plugins
|
|
- Build dependencies
|
|
|
|
## Online Installation
|
|
|
|
If you have internet access, simply run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The installer will automatically download and install all packages from the internet.
|
|
|
|
## Updating Offline Packages
|
|
|
|
To update the offline package cache:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# On a connected system
|
|
bash download_offline_packages.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will download the latest versions of all packages.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Problem: Missing Dependencies
|
|
|
|
If installation fails due to missing dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Download .deb packages with dependencies
|
|
bash download_deb_packages.sh
|
|
|
|
# Install with dependency resolution
|
|
sudo apt install -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Problem: Wheel Not Found
|
|
|
|
If a specific Python package wheel is not found:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Download specific package
|
|
pip3 download <package-name> -d repo/python-wheels/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Problem: Architecture Mismatch
|
|
|
|
Ensure packages are downloaded on the same architecture (ARM for Raspberry Pi):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Verify architecture
|
|
uname -m # Should show: armv7l or aarch64
|
|
|
|
# Force ARM downloads
|
|
pip3 download -r requirements.txt -d repo/python-wheels/ --platform linux_armv7l
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Storage Requirements
|
|
|
|
- **Python wheels**: ~50-100 MB
|
|
- **System .deb packages**: ~200-500 MB (if downloaded)
|
|
- **Total**: ~250-600 MB
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The `repo/` folder is designed to be portable
|
|
- Downloaded packages are excluded from git (see `.gitignore`)
|
|
- The installer supports both online and offline modes seamlessly
|
|
- System packages list is maintained in `repo/system-packages/apt-packages.txt`
