How to Install Musikcube on NetBSD

Musikcube is a free, open-source, cross-platform application that allows you to play and manage your music library. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Musikcube on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• NetBSD installed on your system
• Internet connectivity
• Basic command-line knowledge

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Musikcube requires certain libraries and tools to be installed on your system before you can start the installation process. To install the required dependencies, open the terminal and run the following command:

pkgin install cmake SDL2 SDL2_mixer libsamplerate libsndfile libshout libvorbis

Step 2: Download Musikcube

To download Musikcube, go to the official website at musikcube.com/">https://musikcube.com/ and click on the "Download" button. This will take you to the download page where you can choose the appropriate package for your system.

As NetBSD uses a different package manager, we need to download the source code and compile it ourselves. You can download the source code from the following link:

• https://github.com/clangen/musikcube/releases

Click on the latest release, and then click on the "Source code (zip)" link to download the source code in ZIP format.

Once the download is complete, extract the ZIP file to a folder of your choice.

Step 3: Compile and Install Musikcube

Now that we have downloaded the source code, we can compile and install Musikcube. To do this, open the terminal and navigate to the folder where you extracted the source code.

Next, run the following commands one by one:

cd musikcube-<version>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

Replace "" with the version number of the release that you downloaded. For example, if you downloaded version 0.95.0, the folder name will be "musikcube-0.95.0".

The above commands will create a build directory, configure the build system, compile the source code, and install the binary files in the system-wide directories.

Step 4: Run Musikcube

To run Musikcube, simply type "musikcube" in the terminal and hit Enter. This will launch the Musikcube application, and you can start playing and managing your music library.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Musikcube on NetBSD. Now that you have installed Musikcube, you can enjoy your music collection on your NetBSD system.
