Requirements

This project is currenly only designed to run on Linux desktops. No effort has yet been made to make it run on anything else than Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 (which are the distributions used for development).

Getting Started

These instructions are not targetted at end users. There are not prebuilt binary packages, which you could just install, so you have to build from source. It is assumed that you're moderately experienced with software development on Linux.

You need at least git and python3 installed on your system.

sudo apt install git python3

First grab the latest source code:

git clone https://github.com/odahoda/noisicaa.git
cd noisicaa

Configure the project. This will create a virtual environment and populate it with the required 3rd party packages. It will also install missing system packages - this assumes that you have sudo rights on the system, and it might query you for your password.

./waf configure --download --install-system-packages

Now you can build it:

./waf build

You can either run it from the build directory:

bin/noisicaä

Or install it to /usr/local:

sudo ./waf install
