Drift is a powerful audio recording software that saves audio files as drift files, which can be later used to create audio tracks. In this tutorial, we will go over the steps required to install Drift on Linux Mint Latest using the Github repository.
Open up a terminal on your Linux machine. You can access this by pressing CTRL + ALT + T on the keyboard.
Navigate to the directory in which you would like to install Drift. This can be done using the cd command. For example, to navigate to the ~/Downloads directory:
cd ~/Downloads
Clone the Drift repository from Github by executing the following command:
git clone https://github.com/MaxLeiter/drift.git
Once the repository has been cloned, move into the newly created directory using the following command:
cd drift
It is highly recommended to create a Python virtual environment to isolate the dependencies to this project only. You can create a virtual environment using the following command:
python -m venv env
Activate the virtual environment using the following command:
source env/bin/activate
Install the required dependencies using the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
You should now be able to run Drift by executing the following command:
python drift.py
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed Drift on your Linux Mint Latest machine.
