Installation

There are several ways to install BassBoom on Linux systems.

Method 1: Manually unpacking

If you'd like to manually unpack the BassBoom packages, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that you have all the required software installed

2. Download the latest release ZIP file from this page.

3. Unpack the ZIP archive to any folder of your choice

4. Open your favorite terminal emulator, like Konsole, and change the working directory to a folder containing the BassBoom executable

5. Execute dotnet BassBoom.Cli.dll to start the kernel

Method 2: Ubuntu PPA

If you're running Ubuntu, you can install BassBoom using the Ubuntu PPA. Just follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal emulator and execute the following:

   • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/bassboom

   • sudo apt update

2. Install the bassboom package and follow the instructions (appending the -XX suffix to indicate the third API version part, such as 3)

   • sudo apt install bassboom-3

3. Start bassboom (appending the same suffix above, like bassboom-3), or use your app drawer to find BassBoom corresponding to your installed API version

You can choose between the version series that you want to upgrade in the output of the apt command when it prompts you to select one of them, as bassboom is a virtual package.

This only applies to Ubuntu and its derivatives. However, we only support the vanilla Ubuntu distribution. Don't try this method on Debian.

Method 3: Arch Linux AUR

If you're running Arch, you can install BassBoom using the Arch Linux AUR. Just follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal emulator and install your preferred AUR helper. Further steps assume that you have Yay installed.

2. Install the bassboom-3 package and follow the instructions (appending the -XX suffix to indicate the third API version part, such as 3)

   • yay -Sy bassboom-3

3. Start bassboom (appending the same suffix above, like bassboom-3), or use your app drawer to find BassBoom corresponding to your installed API version

This only applies to vanilla Arch Linux. We don't officially support Arch's derivatives, such as Manjaro and EndeavourOS.

You can't install the release version and the cutting-edge (those with the -git suffix) version at the same time, since files conflict.
