Radium is a free, open-source music creation software designed for Linux, Windows, and macOS. It features a modern interface, robust MIDI capabilities, and a powerful mixer with built-in effects. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Radium on an Arch Linux system.
Before you begin, make sure your system is up-to-date:
sudo pacman -Syu
In addition, you should have a basic understanding of the Linux command line.
First, we need to install the dependencies necessary for building and running Radium. These include Qt5 and the JACK Audio Connection Kit.
sudo pacman -S qt5-base jack
Next, we need to download the Radium source code from the Github repository.
git clone https://github.com/Zibbp/Radium.git
Now that we have the source code, we can build and install Radium. Change to the Radium directory and run the following commands:
cd Radium
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
The cmake command generates the build system, and the make command builds the executable. The make install command installs Radium on the system.
To run Radium, enter the following command:
radium
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Radium on your Arch Linux system.
