RasPi 3B - Noob Guide

Barebones with an Ethernet port is all you need

Thanks SIMON, and recommended software?

Then in terms of streaming do i still use the Naim app 

You'll need to install Raspbian on your Pi. Use the "NOOBS" install on the SD card - Google for instructions if none came with your Pi.

You'll then need to install Bubble UPnP Server on your Pi - somebody on here did an installation guide, do a search and see if you can find it.

Thanks will do.

Forgot to ask if it is best to run RaspberryPi as WiFi or lan?

Wired LAN. Also suggest sticking with a full-fat Pi 3, rather than  Pi Zero.

Thanks Suzi ordered the full fat version earlier.

You may or may not have ordered a case but I found this one quite stylish:

(Paid more on Amazon)

Thanks Alley Cat, i ended up ordering the CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Starter Kit.

Silly question when setup, what app do i use to control my streamer, the Naim app or Bubble ?

Try Lumin, it’s a free app that will find your Tidal/Qobuz/local server via Bubble. 

I use Linn Kazoo, which to me is easier to use than Lumin. 

Thanks - just looking at both app on Google Play, reviews do not bode well for either.

It works very well on iOS. I couldn’t get on with Android, having tried an Android phone once. 

Lumin crashes on Android.  Bubble works great. 

Ok so RasPi assembled, Raspbian installed, SSH activated, but now stuck at installing Bubble uUnP.

If i enter the commands mentioned in another thread (below) i just get an error message No such file or directory found

$wget https://launchpad.net/~bubbleguuum/+archive/bubbleupnpserver/+files/bubbleupnpserver_0.9-5_all.deb
$sudo dpkg -i bubbleupnpserver_0.9-5_all.deb

The file could have moved.  If you "back up " the URL you get

https://launchpad.net/~bubbleg...ntu/bubbleupnpserver

Thanks GUINNLESS - but adding the PPA step 1, how do i find my PPA Overview page ?

Step 1: On the PPA's overview page, look for the heading that reads Adding this PPA to your system. Make a note of the PPA's location, which looks like:

ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa

Have you run the following ?:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bubbleguuum/bubbleupnpserver
sudo apt-get update

You should then see it in the following location
/etc/apt/sources.list

Have you installed Java?
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless

Not just me then. It's hopeless on Android. I ended up using Bubble DS Next it's a bit neater looking than the standard Bubble app.

I checked your Java command gave an error - 

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package openjdk-7-jre-headless is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'openjdk-7-jre-headless' has no installation candidate

I then checked the version of Java i have installed which is - pi@raspberrypi:~ $ java -version
java version "1.8.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)

Great, you have Java installed.

No pretty much stalled after that, so have Raspbian and Java, but unable to install Bubble, job for the weekend.

You need Java to run Bubble anyway so that's still a job completed.

????

Not making any further progress, some guidance please.

I have Raspbian installed and ensured all the latest updates, Java version "1.8.0_65" installed, SSH on.

But still not managing to install Bubble (error below). To me it seems i need a folder structure or something is missing, tried the instructions at the Bubble Site same issue.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bubbleguuum/bubbleupnpserver
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

AND

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ $sudo apt-get install bubbleupnpserver
