make run_assistant
- Get credentials file. It must be an end-user's credentials.
- Go to the Actions Console and register your device model, following these instructions
- Move it in this folder and rename it to
client_secret.json - run
get_credentials.shin this folder. It will create the filecredentials.json.
- Start
run_assistant
./run_assistant --audio_input ./resources/weather_in_mountain_view.raw --credentials_file ./credentials.json --credentials_type USER_ACCOUNT
On a Linux workstation, you can alternatively use ALSA for audio input:
./run_assistant --audio_input ALSA_INPUT --credentials_file ./credentials.json --credentials_type USER_ACCOUNT
You can use a text-based query instead of audio:
./run_assistant --text_input "What time is it?" --credentials_file ./credentials.json --credentials_type USER_ACCOUNT
To change the locale, include a locale parameter:
./run_assistant --text_input "Bonjour" --credentials_file ./credentials.json --credentials_type USER_ACCOUNT --locale "fr-FR"
Default Assistant gRPC API endpoint is embeddedassistant.googleapis.com. If you want to test with a custom Assistant gRPC API endpoint, you can pass an extra "--api_endpoint CUSTOM_API_ENDPOINT" to run_assistant.
