This discussion was created from the release v1.0.0.

Will there be more frequent releases from now? I think 1year is a bit too much

[Melvin-Abraham]

Probably yes since the stable version has been released and any upcoming updates would be minor but as far as code rewriting is concerned, it might take longer.

[im-coder-lg]

Will there be release candidates to 2.0.0? Or is it 1.0.1 and so on?

[Melvin-Abraham]

There will be minor releases like 1.x.y while continuing development on the next major version, 2.0.0 . So, there could be release candidates for the same later on...

[Arplane-SOCITY]

[Nicus009]

Please add russian language

[addy118]

which path we have to put in key path

[im-coder-lg]

From the Google Cloud Platform, you would download a JSON file, right? Save it to an undisclosed location in your computer that you only know and enter that location's path in the Key Path.

[unidotcom]

Please add Indonesian language

[im-coder-lg]

If the Google Assistant SDK supports it, we'll definetely add it!

[SamipyaMainali]

[im-coder-lg]

Anyway, you would have the YouTube Web experience, if we use Electron. A client for PCs would be a bit overloaded, right?

@EsaulTellez #671

[EkCaAv]

Hello! There was an error choosing the JSON file and whenever I try to open the file, and restart, I get this message:

I don't know what I should do, I already reinstalled and did all the steps again and nothing works for me :/.

[im-coder-lg]

#671, you checked it, right?

[Mihlayonke]

Hi,

I did all the steps on consoles but now I cant download the Google Assistant Setup, the browser error says " Couldnt downloaded-need authorization"

[ghost]

I'm not sure what's going on, but try downloading the source code perhaps.

[im-coder-lg]

Do you have the permission to download in that folder? Perhaps, you could try building an installer from the source code, it adds a bit more fixes.

Firstly, try switching browsers, if you don't want to build from source code.
