Installing Alexa via Snap

[enigma9o7]

https://blog.ubuntu.com/2017/05/16/d...r-raspberry-pi

I did sudo snap install --beta alexa

I created an Amazon Developer account and security profile as described here:
https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-...curity-Profile
then added http://alexa.local:3000/authresponse to the Allowed Return URLs and http://alexa.local:3000 to the Allowed Origins.

However, I don't know how to use/run it. I have this config.json file I downloaded, do I need to put it somewhere? Could "Open http://alexa.local:3000 in a web browser on a local device or a device on the same network" mean not on the device you installed it on? Regardless I tried opening it from my phone and also no response. Could there be some reason it won't work on PC but does on RPi? I'm using bodhi 5 which is ubuntu 18 based...

Couldn't find much info online...

Zero views makes me sad. I wonder if anyone's ever tried this besides me.

Thread moved to the "Ubuntu/Debian BASED" forum.

Don't be sad about the thread views, there are several members who have looked at your thread but obviously not had anything to offer, the forums thread view counter is broken. Continue to bump your thread daily or thereabouts to put it back to the top of the pile. It does also seem a fairly niche question so may take some time before someone who can help sees it.

Ok thanks, will do.

I have not tried it, did play around with MyCroft and got that to work a year or so ago.

Apparently nobody has.
