The easy way to setup a lyricue display server on a Raspberry Pi:

1. Download the lastest ArchLinux disk image via this torrent.

2. Unzip the image and copy it to an SD card (at least 2GB)

    unzip archlinux-hf-2013-02-11.zip
    dd bs=1M if=archlinux-hf-2013-02-11.img of=/dev/sdX
   

3. Put the SD card in your Pi and boot it up.

4. Login via ssh or console

    Username: root
    Password: root
   

5. Download and execute the setup script in one easy step that will auto configure the ArchLinux envoronment, compile Lyricue and configure the output:

    sh <(curl https://raw.github.com/alerque/picue/master/archlinux_init.sh)
   

   or the short URL version if you are typing on the console:

    sh <(curl -L http://goo.gl/xxGyv)
   

6. Wait a while. The system will reboot twice in the process of setting everything up.

7. Welcome to your Lyricue display.
