How to Install moOde Audio on FreeBSD

moOde Audio is a music player application designed for high-quality audio playback. It is specifically designed for use on the Raspberry Pi, but it can also be installed on other devices supporting Linux-based operating systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of moOde Audio on FreeBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, you'll need to check if your system meets the following requirements:

Step 1: Update and Upgrade FreeBSD

We will start by updating and upgrading the FreeBSD system. Connect to your FreeBSD system via SSH and enter the following commands:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade

This command will update and upgrade the FreeBSD system to its latest version.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

moOde Audio requires several dependencies to be installed on the system before it can be installed. Let's install them now.

sudo pkg install gcc wget curl openssl libgcc alsa-utils mpd
sudo pkg install pkgconf freetype2 jpeg-turbo png zlib libsamplerate fftw3 mpg123 flac
sudo pkg install -y avahi-app dbus cmake

Step 3: Install moOde Audio

Now that the dependencies are installed, we can begin the installation of moOde Audio. We will use the wget command to download the installation package from moOde Audio official download section.

cd /usr/local
sudo wget https://github.com/moode-player/moode/releases/download/v7.1.0/moodeaudio-release-7.1.0.zip

Unzip the downloaded package:

sudo unzip moodeaudio-release-7.1.0.zip

Navigate inside the moodeaudio directory:

cd moodeaudio

Now, we need to run the autoinstaller script to set up the moOde Audio application. This script will guide you through the installation process. Run the following command:

sudo ./autoinstall.sh

The installation process will take a few minutes to complete. Once the installation process is complete, the moOde Audio application will be installed and running.
