Google Music plugin for Squeezebox - help needed

There's a plugin for Google Music - which works if it's installed using the specialised package available for max2play.

The general instructions for installing on Linux are here:

https://squeezebox-googlemusic.github.i ... oglemusic/


I followed these (without much comprehension!) for spqos .... without success. I'm not clear which commands have to be modified, eg. installing python-pip, the web says that pip is already installed, but must be updated.
Then I discovered the sudo cpanm commands don't work. A bit of a mess overall.

Questions:

1. Anybody succeeded in this install already

2, Willing to give it a try and provide fool-proof instructions?

Hi castalla,

I tried the steops from this page.
I had trouble with this steps:

code] sudo apt-get install python-pip[/code]

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get install python-dev
And did this fix here:
For python-pip: I downloaded the get-pip file using wget and run directly as written here:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

For pythin-dev:
I have found the desicion using packages.ubuntu.com site.

Run file /etc/apt/sources.list (double click in your file manager) . Add new record to the list of packages:

deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily main
Close this file (Ubuntu will automatically update your packages). If it's not, then execute sudo apt-get update.
Execute sudo apt-get install python-dev. It should work. If it does not, then try another packages links from here.

Still: LMS is not able to activate the plug in...:(

I gave up after numerous attempts! The max2play version works fine.
