Polaris is an open-source music manager designed to help users organize their music files. It is a lightweight application and it is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Polaris on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we can install Polaris, we need to install some dependencies. To do so, open a terminal on your EndeavourOS system and enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S git nodejs npm ffmpeg
This command will install the necessary packages required to build and run Polaris.
Next, we need to download Polaris from its GitHub repository. To do so, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/agersant/polaris.git
This will clone the Polaris repository to your system.
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the Polaris directory by running the following command:
cd polaris
Next, we need to install Polaris's dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
npm install
This command will install all the necessary dependencies for Polaris.
Once done, run the following command to build and run Polaris:
npm start
This command will build and start Polaris. If everything is successful, Polaris should open up in your default browser at http://localhost:3000. You should be able to access Polaris from other devices on your network as the app listens on all interfaces.
