Steps:

(Steps are briefly taken from the audio configuration above)

1. Create a project on the Google Cloud Platform
2. Enable the Assistant API
3. Create an Oath Client ID
4. Download the .json file containing the client secrets.
5. find Orange Pi ip address: http://angryip.org/
6. Transfer the client secret .json to your Orange Pi.
7. On your machine: ssh rootaccess@IPAddress

On the Orange Pi

3. Run the following block of commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-venv
python3 -m venv env
env/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
source env/bin/activate

4. Make sure that “Web & App Activity” with “Include Chrome browsing history and activity from websites and apps that use Google services” is checked, Device Information and Voice & Audio Activity are enabled in the Activity Control Page. This might already be set, depending on what you've done in the past.
5. Now run python -m pip install --upgrade google-assistant-library on the Orange Pi to install the Google Assistant SDK, and python -m pip install --upgrade google-auth-oauthlib[tool] to install the authorization tool.
6. Run the authorization tool: google-oauthlib-tool --client-secrets ~/client_secret_xxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com.json --scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/assistant-sdk-prototype --save --headless, where the client_secret*.json file is what you transfered to the Orange Pi.
7. Now you can run the assistant! google-assistant-demo
