cannot start the Webinterface

Sorry... I'm asking a really basic question because yesterday was the very first time I've used a raspberry pi.

How do I go about this? Because I can't seem to reinstall the files from UAVcast. Also, I'm having trouble with install git-y as the error message states that it is unable to locate package git-y

timmywimmy No problem..
its sudo apt-get install git -y there is a space between git and -y
just copy paste the commands you see on this page https://uavcast.uavmatrix.com/

Okay my bad.

However, I still received a fatal message saying: destination path already exists. 'UAVcast' already exists and it is not an empty directory.

Yes. delete UAVcast folder before downloading a new one.
rm -rf /home/pi/UAVcast

Then run the installation commands.
PS! You need to install UAVcast in /home/pi directory. So make sure to cd /home/pi before you run the commands.

After running rm -rf /home/pi/UAVcast, it says permission denied on all the files it tried to delete.

sorry, you need to use sudo (superuser)
sudo rm -rf /home/pi/UAVcast

Ah okay. Thank you!

Is it normal for the installation to take more than 10 minutes? It has been stuck at 70% for more than 10 minutes now.

timmywimmy on Pi3 it takes arround 15min. It depends on your internet speed as well.

Sinamics thank you so much! It’s working now. Will configure it when I’m free tomorrow.

Just a clarification, as we are tapping into UAVcast’s web interface, are we utlizing your servers to stream and all?

timmywimmy Great
UAVcast basic do not use any external servers. I do have a VPN server for UAVcast-Pro edition.
