How to Install Musikcube on Ubuntu Server Latest

Musikcube is a popular cross-platform, terminal-based music player that supports a wide range of audio formats. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Musikcube on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with this tutorial, you will need:

A running Ubuntu Server Latest instance with root privileges.
Internet connectivity to download the necessary packages.

Step 1: Update the System

As always, before installing any new package or upgrading an existing one, it is recommended to update the system to the latest version. Run the following command to update your system:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, we need to install some dependencies that are needed for compiling and running the Musikcube application. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo apt install build-essential cmake libasound2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libsqlite3-dev zlib1g-dev -y

Step 3: Download and Compile Musikcube

Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed with downloading and compiling Musikcube.

Open your terminal and run the following command to clone the latest version of the Musikcube repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/clangen/musikcube.git
```
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the musikcube directory using the following command:
```
cd musikcube
```
Now run the following command to start the compilation process:
```
./build.sh
```
This process may take a while, depending on your system's hardware resources.
Once the compilation process is completed successfully, you can run Musikcube using the following command:
```
./musikcube
```

Step 4: Running Musikcube as a System Service

To run Musikcube as a system service so that it can run automatically whenever the system starts, follow the below-given steps:

Open the systemd unit file for Musikcube by running the following command:
```
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/musikcube.service
```

Paste the following contents into the file:

[Unit]
Description=Musikcube Music Player

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/path/to/musikcube/musikcube

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Replace /path/to/musikcube/ with the path where Musikcube is installed.

Save the file and exit the editor.
Reload the systemd daemon to apply the changes by running the following command:
```
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
Enable the service to start automatically during system boot:
```
sudo systemctl enable musikcube.service
```
Finally, start the Musikcube service:
```
sudo systemctl start musikcube.service
```

That's it. You have successfully installed and configured Musikcube on your Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now access it using your terminal or any web browser connected to your server.
