Getting started with the Furhat SDK

Installation

To install the SDK, follow this process:

• Download and extract Furhat SDK to any folder of your choice from the Furhat Developer Zone (furhat.io).

Upgrading

The upgrading functionality of the SDK is currently undergoing a rebuild, so next time we update you have to reinstall the SDK.

Running the SDK

• Open your SDK folder in your terminal
• Launch the SDK with the commands
  • launchSDK.bat on Windows
  • sh launchSDK.sh on Mac and Linux
• Open your browser (Chrome is recommended) and navigate to http://localhost:8080
• Log into the web interface with password "admin"
• To set up microphones: Configure microphone under microphone settings in web interface.
• To set up speaker: Configure speaker under the home settings in web interface.
• Finally, test the speech, gaze and gestures on the home screen and make sure the Virtual Furhat behaves as it should.
• To test the microphone and speech recognition, create a new skill and test-run it.
