Musikcube is a command-line music player for Linux that allows you to manage and play your music files just like any other music player. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Musikcube on Linux Mint.
Open your web browser and navigate to musikcube.com/">https://musikcube.com/. Once the homepage loads, click on the download button under the Linux icon. This will download the latest version of the Musikcube package.
After the download has completed, locate the downloaded file in your downloads folder and extract it. You can extract it using the file manager or the terminal. Use the following command to extract it from the terminal:
tar -xzvf musikcube-x.x.x-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
Note: Replace x.x.x with the actual version number.
After extracting the downloaded file, you will get a folder named musikcube-x.x.x. Move this folder to your preferred location. For example, you can move it to the /opt directory using the following command:
sudo mv musikcube-x.x.x /opt/musikcube
For you to use musikcube from anywhere on your system, you need to add it to your system path. To do this, create a symbolic link to the musikcube binary in the /usr/local/bin directory.
