How to Install Lidarr on Clear Linux Latest

Lidarr is a music collection management tool that helps you organize and download your music files. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Lidarr on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

  • A Clear Linux Latest installation
  • Access to the terminal

Step 1: Install Mono

Lidarr requires the Mono framework in order to run on Clear Linux. Execute the following command in the terminal to install Mono:

sudo swupd bundle-add mono-basic

Step 2: Download Lidarr

Lidarr is not available in the Clear Linux repositories. So, we need to download it from the official website.

Open your preferred web browser and navigate to https://lidarr.audio/. On the homepage, click on the Download button. This will take you to the download page for Lidarr.

Select the package for your operating system, which is Linux. This will begin the download of the Lidarr package.

Step 3: Install Lidarr

Once the Lidarr package has finished downloading, navigate to the directory where the package was downloaded:

cd ~/Downloads/

Next, extract the package using the following command:

tar -zxvf Lidarr.master.*.tar.gz

This will extract the contents of the Lidarr package.

Next, move the extracted folder to the /opt/lidarr directory:

sudo mv Lidarr /opt/lidarr

Finally, set the proper permissions for the Lidarr directory:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /opt/lidarr

Step 4: Start the Lidarr Service

To start the Lidarr service on Clear Linux, we need to use the systemctl command. To do this, create a new file called lidarr.service in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory using a text editor:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/lidarr.service

Paste the following contents into the file:

[Unit]
Description=Lidarr Daemon

[Service]
User=<yourusername>
Group=<yourusername>
PIDFile=/opt/lidarr/Lidarr.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mono /opt/lidarr/Lidarr.exe --nobrowser --data=/var/lib/lidarr
TimeoutStopSec=20

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace with your own username. Save the file and close the text editor.

Next, execute the following commands to enable and start the Lidarr service:

sudo systemctl enable lidarr.service
sudo systemctl start lidarr.service

This will enable and start the Lidarr service on Clear Linux.

Step 5: Access Lidarr

Now that Lidarr is installed and running on Clear Linux, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to the following URL:

http://localhost:8686/

This will open the Lidarr web interface. From here, you can start adding your music library and begin organizing and downloading your music files.
