I am trying to run Wyoming External Sound on linux.
I am a bit confused how to do it. Should I run setup script first?

you setup and run the speaker server (if you need to run it on a separate machine), then use it in the satellite configuration

              action="store_true",
              help="Don't mute the microphone while awake wav is being played",
          )
          parser.add_argument(
              "--mic-channel-index",
              type=int,
              help="Take microphone input from a specific channel (first channel is 0)",
          )
          
          # Sound output
          parser.add_argument("--snd-uri", help="URI of Wyoming sound service")
          parser.add_argument("--snd-command", help="Program to run for sound output")
          parser.add_argument(
              "--snd-command-rate",
              type=int,
              default=22050,
              help="Sample rate of snd-command (hertz, default: 22050)",
          )
          parser.add_argument(
              "--snd-command-width",
              type=int,

I will try. I already have it running in docker container and I know how to point satellite to it.
But docker container is limited and I can’t use pipewire tools.

So I want to try to run it natively. I wasn’t sure why setup step is required.

the script creates a virtual environment and installs the necessary libraries

I see. I thought that all necessary libraries are already included…
