Building and installing SonoBus on GNU/Linux

Follow these steps in order to build (and install) SonoBus on GNU/Linux.

Installing build dependencies

To build SonoBus you'll need to install the necessary development dependencies.

If you're using Debian or a Debian-based distro like Ubuntu, run this script:

./deb_get_prereqs.sh

On Fedora run this script:

./fedora_get_prereqs.sh

On other distros you'll have to install the following development packages manually through your package manager:

• libjack-jackd2-dev
• libopus0
• libopus-dev
• opus-tools
• libasound2-dev
• libx11-dev
• libxext-dev
• libxinerama-dev
• libxrandr-dev
• libxcursor-dev
• libgl-dev
• libfreetype6-dev or libfreetype-dev
• libcurl4-openssl-dev or libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Building

Run the build script, both the standalone application and the VST3 plugin will be built:

./build.sh

Installing

When the build finishes, the executable will be at ../build/SonoBus_artefacts/Release/sonobus. You can install it and the VST3 plugins by running the install script:

sudo ./install.sh

It defaults to installing in /usr/local, but if you want to install it elsewhere, just specify the base directory as the first argument on the commandline of the script.

Uninstalling

If you wish to uninstall you can run the uninstall script:

sudo ./uninstall.sh
