Beets is a free and open-source audio library management system that allows you to easily organize and manage your music collection. It supports a wide range of audio formats and can be extended with plugins to enhance its functionality. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Beets on Fedora Server Latest.
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
Beets requires some dependencies to be installed on your system before you can install it. Run the following command to update your Fedora system and install the required dependencies.
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install python3-pip python3-devel libffi-devel openssl-devel
Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can install Beets using pip3, which is the package installer for Python 3.
sudo pip3 install beets
Once you have installed Beets, you can configure it by creating a configuration file. To create the configuration file, run the following command:
beet config -e
This will open the configuration file in your default text editor. You can modify the settings based on your requirements. Here is an example configuration file:
directory: /home/user/Music
library: /home/user/.config/beets/library.db
plugins:
- lastgenre
- discogs
- lyrics
discogs:
token: YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
lastgenre:
auto: yes
lyrics:
auto: yes
Save and close the configuration file.
Now that you have configured Beets, you can import your music collection using the following command:
beet import /path/to/your/music
This will scan your music collection and automatically organize it based on your specified configuration.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Beets on Fedora Server Latest. You can explore Beets further by referring to its documentation.
