Supysonic is a Python-based media server that allows you to access your audio and video files from anywhere. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Supysonic on Manjaro Linux.
Before we begin, make sure your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
You will also need Python and pip installed. If you don't have them installed, use the following commands to install them:
sudo pacman -S python
sudo pacman -S python-pip
First, clone the Supysonic repository from Github using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic
Once the cloning process is complete, navigate to the Supysonic directory using the following command:
cd supysonic
Install Supysonic and its dependencies by running the following command:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo pip install .
Next, create a configuration file for Supysonic using the following command:
cp supysonic.cfg.example supysonic.cfg
Now, open the configuration file using a text editor:
nano supysonic.cfg
Edit the file as per your requirements, and make sure to configure the media folder path to your audio and video files.
Once you're done with the configuration, save the file and exit.
Finally, start the Supysonic server using the following command:
supysonic
You should now be able to access your media files on Supysonic by visiting http://localhost:8000.
That's it! You've successfully installed Supysonic on your Manjaro Linux system. Now you can start listening to your favorite music and watching videos from anywhere. If you face any issues during the installation process, feel free to leave a comment below.

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
