Beets is a popular open-source music management application that allows you to manage, organize, and tag your music files. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Beets on Void Linux.
Before we get started, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Before installing Beets, it is recommended to update the system to ensure that all packages are up to date. To update the system, execute the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
Beets requires several dependencies to function properly. To install these dependencies, execute the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S python3 python3-dev gcc libffi-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libyaml-devel
Once all dependencies are installed, you can now install Beets by executing the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S beets
Beets should now be installed on your system. You can verify the installation by running the following command:
beet --version
To configure Beets, you need to create a configuration file named config.yaml in your user's home directory. You can use the following command to create the file:
nano ~/.config/beets/config.yaml
Once the file is created, you can edit it according to your preferences. For more information on how to configure Beets, you can refer to the official documentation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Beets on your Void Linux system. You can now use Beets to manage your music collection.
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!
