Hackers in Residence: The Sound Visualizer

Contributors: onebeartoe

Software Prerequisites and Installation

Before executing the Sound Visualizer code, we need to make sure a few dependencies are installed first.

Raspbian

Again, make sure that you are using the most up to date version of Rasbian and not a different flavor of the Raspberry Pi OS. We cannot guarantee this will work on other distributions of the Pi OS. The Raspberry Pi foundation has great guides to get Raspbian installed on the Raspberry Pi, should you still need to do that.

Java 7

The latest version of Raspbian comes with a Java 7 virtual machine (JVM). If you have an older version of Raspbian installed, then update and install Java.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java-jdk

Java Application

The Java application for this project is distributed as a Java archive file or JAR. Download it with the link below:

scp sound-visualizer.jar pi@raspberrypi.local
