A lightweight spotify CLI

# spoppy Lightweight Spotify Command-Line interface for Linux [](https://travis-ci.org/sindrig/spoppy)

## Requirements

Python 2.7 or Python 3.3+

See requirements.txt for required python packages. They will be automatically installed when you install via pip.

You will need a Spotify Premium account and a Spotify username (if you signed up via Facebook you can [follow the instructions here](https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Accounts-and-Subscriptions/How-do-i-find-my-username-when-using-Facebook-login/td-p/859795) to get your username).

You will need libspotify, pyaudio or pyalsaaudio, and libffi-dev installed.

You will either need to install pyaudio or alsaaudio by (pyaudio instructions [Here](https://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/) and pyalsaaudio instructions [here](http://larsimmisch.github.io/pyalsaaudio/pyalsaaudio.html#installation)).

Use your distribution’s package manager for libffi-dev (f.x. apt-get install libffi-dev).

To install libspotify, see [Pyspotify installation](https://pyspotify.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/#install-from-source). (It’s also available in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libspotify/)).

For DBus integration you’ll need python-dbus and python-gobject2. Use your distribution’s package manager. Spoppy will work without these packages but won’t expose it’s DBus procedures.
