Euterpe is a free and open-source music streaming platform that allows you to discover and listen to music from various genres. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Euterpe on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

  • A computer running Manjaro Linux
  • A stable internet connection

Step 1: Install Git

To install Euterpe, we first need to install Git. Git is a free and open-source version control system used for tracking changes in code and collaborating with others.

To install Git, open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git

Enter your password when prompted, and Git will be installed.

Step 2: Clone Euterpe Repository

Next, we need to clone the Euterpe repository from GitHub. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/listen-to-euterpe/euterpe

This will download the Euterpe files to your local machine.

Step 3: Install Euterpe Dependencies

To install Euterpe dependencies, navigate to the Euterpe directory:

cd euterpe

Then, run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

sudo ./install-deps.sh

This script will install all the required dependencies, including Node.js and PostgreSQL.

Step 4: Create PostgreSQL Database

Euterpe requires a PostgreSQL database to run. To create a new database, run the following command in the terminal:

sudo -u postgres createdb euterpe

Step 5: Configure Euterpe

Next, we need to configure Euterpe by editing the config.json file. Open the file using your favorite text editor:

nano config.json

In the file, update the following fields:

  • database: Change the database host, port, username, and password to your PostgreSQL credentials.
  • server: Set the httpPort field to your desired port number (default is 3000).
  • spotify: Enter your Spotify client ID and secret.

Save the file and exit the editor.

Step 6: Start Euterpe Server

To start the Euterpe server, run the following command in the terminal:

npm start

The server will start running on the specified port, and you should be able to access Euterpe by opening a web browser and navigating to localhost:<port>.
