Noisedash is a simple noise machine application for Linux. It allows you to generate various types of background noises to help you focus, relax, or sleep. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Noisedash on your Elementary OS.
Before we begin, please ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
The first step is to install Git, which is a version control system that will allow us to download Noisedash from its GitHub repository.
To install Git, open the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard, and run the following command:
sudo apt install git
Enter your password and press y when prompted to confirm the installation.
Next, we will clone the Noisedash repository from GitHub to our local machine. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/kaythomas0/noisedash.git
This will create a new directory called noisedash in your current working directory, where the Noisedash application code will be stored.
Noisedash requires several dependencies to run on your system, such as Python 3 and GTK+ 3. To install them, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt install python3 python3-gi gir1.2-gtk-3.0
This command will install Python 3 and GTK+ 3 on your system.
To run Noisedash, navigate to the noisedash directory that you cloned earlier by running the following command:
cd noisedash
Then, start the application by running the following command:
python3 noisedash.py
This will launch the Noisedash application on your Elementary OS, where you will be able to generate various types of background noise to help you relax, focus, or sleep.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Noisedash on your Elementary OS. We hope that this tutorial was helpful to you and that you find Noisedash to be a useful tool in your daily life.
