Hi. You can now just download a release zip
(https://github.com/declension/squeeze-alexa/releases) which is easier.
You can extract it to any directory on your computer really (e.g.
/home/me/projects/squeeze-alexa), so long as you have access to this,
Python, and a command line (so Linux / Mac easiest, but Windows possible
too) and connectivity to your NAS / server / whatever. The codebase is
primarily to -build and deploy the Alexa skill- though.

This is how you configure the Alexa skill for your own setup. It will be
under /home/me/projects/squeeze-alexa/src/settings.py in my earlier
example. By design you shouldn't have to edit much, just a few hostnames
/ IP addresses etc.

When you say -on- a Raspberry Pi - is the Pi 
  
-  Your PC (unlikely but can be done..)
-  RPi as a Squeezebox (player)?
-  RPi as NAS / home server (to install, say, stunnel etc)
-  RPi as a LMS instance
  

My money's on the third (and fourth perhaps), which shouldn't be too
hard at all as the package manager is decent I'm told.
