Installing Polaris on POP! OS

In this tutorial, we will be installing Polaris, a modern music player, on the latest version of POP! OS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need to ensure that you have the following:

• A running instance of POP! OS
• An active internet connection
• A terminal

Step 1: Clone Polaris from GitHub

The first step is to clone the Polaris repository from GitHub using the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/agersant/polaris.git

This will create a new polaris directory in your current working directory.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, we need to install the necessary dependencies required to build Polaris. These include Node.js and npm. To install Node.js and npm, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo apt install nodejs npm

Once Node.js and npm are installed, navigate to the polaris directory and install the required dependencies by running the following command:

npm install

This may take a while as it will download and install all the required dependencies.

Step 3: Build Polaris

We are now ready to build Polaris. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:

npm run build

This will build Polaris and create a dist directory in the polaris folder.

Step 4: Install Polaris

The final step is to install Polaris. To do so, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo npm install -g

This will install Polaris globally on your system. You can now start Polaris by running the following command in your terminal:

polaris

Congratulations, you have now successfully installed Polaris on your POP! OS system!
