<![CDATA[Alexa Voice Service for Pi]]>Hello,

I am trying to get Alexa on my Pi for some time now with no luck, probably due to the face I have no idea what I am doing. I found a video on YouTube and have been following her steps which she is getting from here https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/avs-device-sdk/raspberry-pi-script.html
Scrolling to Run and Install Script, it says after installation it should say [100%] Built Target SampleApp but it does not. I get the following, any ideas?

so you run the auth program, and it pops up a blah blah wants to access your devicename
and u say Allow, then an error appears, can’t reach xyz…

and in the URL string is the code=djf;asjfgjae;gk;FGJADJFG’AJFDGL’K AFDJG LAFDJG L’ADFKJ

the thing after the code= IS the code u are supposed to copy

‘djf;asjfgjae;gk;FGJADJFG’AJFDGL’K AFDJG LAFDJG L’ADFKJ’

using my made up junk above

i have a different app on a different platform that implements a server at the return url and captures the code= value for you… so none of this trouble

http://localhost

I have these four in the Allowed Origins Fields:
https://192.168.0.108:5050
https://192.168.0.108:5050
https://localhost:5050
https://localhost:5050

In the Allowed Return URLs I have the same four but with /code at the end of each.
Again, I can’t remember exactly where I got this info, was a video on YT from memory.

Any ideas?

there will be errors, ignore them. the last command being successful is all that matters

Is it worth doing it do you think?

I copied these to a script, and it will do all the install part. u still have to the setup on the avs console, and get the refresh token.
