# Quick install guide

Check these prerequisites:

- ALSA compatible audio interface.
- [PipeWire](https://pipewire.org/) version 1.0.0 or higher installed on the host machine.
- In addition you will need the Pipewire JACK plugin (`pipewire-jack`).
- Check your [PipeWire Setup](./install-manual.md#setup-pipewire-as-a-system-wide-daemon)

Next, check if PipeWire is running with `systemctl status pipewire.service`

[Deployment preparation steps](deployment-preparation.md):

```properties
git pull
git tag
   v1.0.0
   v1.1.0
git checkout tags/<release-version>
make aura-user.add
make aura-playout.pw.install
sudo reboot
make aura-playout.init
```

```{admonition} AURA Web after reboot
:class: tip
Make sure that AURA Web is still running after the reboot.
```

Modify relevant values in the newly created configuration file:

```properties
nano config/aura-playout/.env
```

Drop some music files into the folder `audio/pool/fallback`.

Then, connect your audio interface to the playout engine devices with [`pw-link`](complete-install.md#option-2-cli-tool-pw-link).

After this is set, start AURA Playout with:

```properties
make aura-playout.up
```

Watch the health status and logs with:

```properties
docker ps
cd config/aura-playout && docker compose logs -f
```
