I started from the most recent version of Raspberry Pi OS (with recommended software) on a Pi Zero 2 W.

Installing Mopidy

First install the repackaged installer from pimoroni/pirate-audio#105. This is now merged into main so you can install it with

git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/pirate-audio
cd pirate-audio/mopidy
./install.sh
