In this tutorial, I will take you through the process of installing Headphones on Linux Mint, which is an open-source music download automation software. Headphones allows you to download music from torrents and also has the ability to automatically search and download music from several sources. Follow these steps to install Headphones on your Linux Mint operating system.
Before we get started with the installation, here are the prerequisites:
Open your terminal and use the following command to update your system package list:
sudo apt-get update
Once the update is complete, execute the following command to install Git:
sudo apt-get install git
Python 2.7 comes pre-installed on most Linux distributions, including Linux Mint. If you don't have it installed, you can use the following command to install it:
sudo apt-get install python2.7
Now, we can proceed with the installation of Headphones. Follow these steps:
cd /path/to/install/headphones
sudo git clone https://github.com/rembo10/headphones.git
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER headphones
cd headphones
python2.7 ./setup.py install
If the installation is successful, you should see a message that says 'Finished processing dependencies for Headphones.'
To start Headphones, navigate to the headphones directory and run the following command:
python2.7 Headphones.py
Once the application has started, you can access it by opening your web browser and typing http://localhost:8181 in the address bar.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Headphones on your Linux Mint system. You can now download music and enjoy it effortlessly.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
