Trouble installing Plexamp Headless on a Volumio device

Plex Labs

Hi, so I’m trying to tinker and install Plexamp on a Volumio OS device following this older guide on here: Plexamp 4.4.0 on Volumio - some basic instructions

I’m running into errors on the part where it says:

  1. Run plexamp once outside of the service to configure the claim token - it will prompt for a claim token
    /home/volumio/.nvm/versions/node/v12.22.12/bin/node /home/volumio/plexamp/js/index.js`

The standard Pi guide says to type in ‘cd plexamp’ and in the plexamp directory run ‘node js/index.js’ to first run, but not sure what my error is above which is returning:

error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

first result on google said to go with

‘apt-get install libatomic1’

which then gave me (screenshot of terminal):

‘Err Index of /debian/ jessie/main libatomic1 armhf 4.9.2-10+deb8u1
404 Not Found
E: Failed to fetch http://ftp2.cn.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-4.9/libatomic1_4.9.2-10+deb8u1_armhf.deb 404 Not Found’
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Trying the ‘apt get update’ resulted in even more 404s

so I tried apt get update, then apt install libatomic1, and above is the string of errors I’m getting

I also tried the ‘npm -v’ command which gives a similar error

node: error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
volumio@ifi:~$

Where do I go from here?

I don’t have a great solution to your particular issue, but I’d recommend to anyone looking for a Plexamp headless solution to consider Ropieee. It’s technically meant to create an endpoint for Roon (which I don’t use, nor ever intend to use), but it also includes a Plexamp headless component with automatically installs, no muss no fuss. You can also enable LMS if you want support for Internet radio and such. It’s quite nice and it’s updated every month or so. I’ve tried Volumio, Moode and others. Ropieee beats them all hands-down.

I wish I could just flash Ropieee in my case, I use it on another device and it’s indeed great for Pi users.
