Installation Instructions - jorge-pais/PSW_TURDmusic GitHub Wiki

To install the TURDmusic desktop application, there are packages for both Windows and Linux operative systems. Only x86_64 is supported.

GNU/Linux

After downloading the application tarball from the repository, it can be unpacked anywhere on the system utilizing the tar command.

The following command will extract the program contents to a ./turd_linux64 directory and make the install/launch scripts executable.

tar -xvzf turd_linux64.tar.gz && chmod +x ./turd_linux64/run.sh ./turd_linux64/installDesktop.sh

To launch the application, the run.sh shell script can be run from either the terminal or from any available file explorer. To automatically create a desktop application entry for the local user, the installDesktop.sh shell script does just that.

Windows

Installing the application is just a matter of running the self-extracting executable turd_win32.exe and choosing where the application files are to be placed. To run the application, it is required to open the batch file run.bat by either opening it on file explorer, or running it within the windows command prompt. It is recommended to create a shortcut to this file.

Disclaimer

This software was developed targeting the latest JDK version at the time, which is Java 19. The problem is that building Java executables proved quite challenging, since the current JRE for desktops is only version 8. For this reason, it was decided to include a copy of the OpenJFX library within the install files. For Windows, a free version of the JDK is also included.
