In this tutorial, we will be installing Polaris, a modern music player, on the latest version of POP! OS.
Before we begin, you will need to ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to clone the Polaris repository from GitHub using the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/agersant/polaris.git
This will create a new polaris directory in your current working directory.
Next, we need to install the necessary dependencies required to build Polaris. These include Node.js and npm. To install Node.js and npm, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt install nodejs npm
Once Node.js and npm are installed, navigate to the polaris directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:
npm install
This may take a while as it will download and install all the required dependencies.
We are now ready to build Polaris. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:
npm run build
This will build Polaris and create a dist directory in the polaris folder.
The final step is to install Polaris. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo npm install -g
This will install Polaris globally on your system. You can now start Polaris by running the following command in your terminal:
polaris
Congratulations, you have now successfully installed Polaris on your POP! OS system!
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!
