(Raspbian and maybe other ARM based distro)

thnx to @inquilino for the fixes/updates

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python3-dev python3-libxml2 python3-lxml unrar-free ffmpeg libatlas-base-dev

1. Upgrade Python to version 3.8 or greater.

2. Download latest release of Bazarr here

   wget https://github.com/morpheus65535/bazarr/releases/latest/download/bazarr.zip
   

3. Create the bazarr directory

   sudo mkdir /opt/bazarr
   

4. Extract the content of the zipped release to the previously created bazarr directory

   sudo unzip bazarr.zip -d /opt/bazarr
   

5. cd into /opt/bazarr

   cd /opt/bazarr
   

6. Install the Python requirements:

   python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   Note

   (Raspbian) Don't worry about lxml not being installed at this step, you have installed the module through apt-get anyway.

   Older Raspberry Pi (ARMv6)

   On ARMv6 devices (e.g. older Raspberry Pis, find out with uname -m), numpy installed from pip might contain instruction set that is not compatible with the architecture (Ref). The solution is to replace it with the version from apt repository:

   python3 -m pip uninstall numpy
   sudo apt-get install python3-numpy
   

7. Change ownership to your preferred user for running programs (replace both instances of $USER, or leave it to change ownership to current user)

   sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/bazarr
   

8. You can now start bazarr using the following command:

   python3 bazarr.py
   

9. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:6767/
