I received an amazon Echo device as a gift. It included instructions
for activating and installing Alexa, but only for Windoze and MAC. A
query to the amazon help line returned a brief reply that Linux was not
supported. Has anyone tried (successfully) to install Alexa on this
device ??

    "install Alexa on this device" - I don't understand? What would you have to install on your computer in order to use Alexa on your Echo?

I think this poster means to install the AMAZON ALEXA Hub application suite or equivalent controlling software that is available for MAC, WINDOWS & Android platforms on the Ubuntu system,p robably with Indicator & Notification support included as well.



0. SOLUTION ZERO



Install the Amazon Alexa App on your Android phone / Apple handset and keep your eyes peeled for projects on Linux to surface for proposed Ubuntu Integration.



1. SOLUTION ONE



Go to the Snapcraft Snapd Store -
https://snapcraft.io/anbox-installer .



Copy and paste the following into your terminal and install Anbox:



sudo snap install anbox-installer --classic


OR



sudo snap install --devmode --beta anbox


Enter your password, this will install the Android version on your Ubuntu system, then you are good to go!



More instruction on :
https://github.com/anbox/anbox/blob/master/docs/install.md



2. SOLUTION TWO



Install WINE ( again add it as a Snap or look in the Software Center for availability ) to get the Windows version to work and run it from there .
May give you different functionality to the Android version .



3. SOLUTION THREE



Do it Yourself
http://events17.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/Echo_Compatible_Linux_Device_Anderson.pdf



4. SOLUTION FOUR



Install Chrome and use their Assistant through their Web Browser and your webcam then return the Alexa unit back for a refund.
Rinse and repeat the same question but for Google HOME !!!






Results may vary.



Thank me if one of these solutions WORKS :P
