You will also need curl. You can install it like this.

sudo apt install curl -y

On linux distributions with different package managers, use the one provided.

If you want to install autodarts with automatic start on boot go along with this:

bash <(curl -sL get.autodarts.io)

If you do not want the autostart systemd service to be installed, you can use the -n flag as follows.

bash <(curl -sL get.autodarts.io) -n

If you want to install a specific version, e.g., 0.20.0, then you can append the required version to the command as follows. This can be helpful if you want to downgrade to an earlier version. This also works with the -n flag from before.

bash <(curl -sL get.autodarts.io) 0.20.0

You can control the the autodarts.service with the systemctl command.

sudo systemctl start autodarts
sudo systemctl stop autodarts
sudo systemctl restart autodarts
sudo systemctl status autodarts
sudo systemctl disable autodarts
sudo systemctl enable autodarts

If you want to see the log output, you can use the following command.

journalctl -u autodarts -f

In some cases you need the UVC Hack in combination with Linux based Distros

The UVC hack eliminates issues with incorrectly requested bandwidth from multiple cameras on the same USB bus. Most cameras always request bandwidth for maximum resolution and FPS. It is sometimes needed to resolve bandwidth issues on the USB bus.

The notorious UVC hack has now become a little bit simpler. You can now install it in a similar fashion as the Autodarts board client. Make sure that curl is installed (sudo apt install curl). I have tested this on a variety of devices, but you can never know.

The command tries to install all necessary dependencies and then compiles the UVC driver on your device. It will try to unload the old driver and load the new one, as well as copy the new driver into the kernel so that it is loaded on restart. I have found that it is generally a good idea to have a least one camera connected when doing this. So, try to make sure that you have at least one camera connected.

Let me know how this works for you. Here is the command.

bash <(curl -sL get.autodarts.io/uvc)

Now the UVC Hack should work properly and you are ready to go.

You can also uninstall the UVC Hack with this command.

bash <(curl -sL get.autodarts.io/uvc) --uninstall

Warning

The UVC Hack will not work on linux machines that have UEFI Secure Boot enabled.

First of all you have to download the matching Installation file from Github:

Windows is quite picky when it comes to connecting multiple cameras to the same USB port. It is adviced to connect every camera individually to different USB ports. It is tested on multiple machines, and this generally seems to work. It is not guaranteed to work, though. Windows support is still young, and things might break. Please be patient.

The macOS version is dynamically linked and does not come with OpenCV included. make sure that you install OpenCV 4.8.0 opencv first.

brew install opencv

You will also need curl. You can install it like this.

brew install curl

You can then install autodarts with the following command.

bash <(curl -sL get.autodarts.io)

If you want to install a specific version, e.g., 0.20.0, then you can append the required version to the command as follows. This can be helpful if you want to downgrade to an earlier version.

bash <(curl -sL get.autodarts.io) 0.20.0
