How can I install Yousician Launcher?












1















I've just downloaded a file called "Yousician.tar.gz". I understand it's a compacted file and it contains other files and folders. I can extract the contents with no problems. I wonder, though, how I can run the software. I really have no experience with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (which is the one installed in my PC) or any other version of it.



Can anyone help, please?

    Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! File archives can contain about everything, even other archives. So without knowing what's in the archive, we can't tell you what to do with it. But usually a readme file is included, explaining what to do.

  1. Download archive from https://app.yousician.com/signup


  2. Unpack it to any folder


  3. Go to this folder


  4. Run “Yousician Launcher” file



Tip: if your OS version is 64 bit, run this command in terminal



sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386 libglu1:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libxrandr2:i386

    This answer is a supplement to Andrew's answer as I followed a different route for my install.



    Do the following in a terminal window.





    1. cd to the Download folder.

    2. Extract the archive using tar -xvf Yousician.tar.gz

    3. Next we will move it to /opt using sudo mv Yousician Launcher/ /opt/yousician

    4. And make a shortcut to the launcher using sudo ln -sf /opt/yousician/Yousician Launcher /usr/bin/yousician


    5. We also want a Unity dash entry so run gedit ~/.local/share/applications/Yousician.desktop, then paste the following



      [Desktop Entry]
      Name=Yousician
      Comment=Start the Yousician Launcher
      Exec="yousician"
      Icon=/opt/yousician/Yousician.app/Yousician_Data/Resources/UnityPlayer.png
      Terminal=false
      Type=Application
      Categories=Game;
      Name[en]=Yousician



    And that is it. You should now find it in the Unity Dash (might need a restart).



    PS. for a 64-bit check the tip in Andrew's answer (based on the official guide).

      Using Yousician on Linux is not longer possible.



      They seem to withdraw Linux support lately.



      There is declined feature request about this (and another one which they didn't decline yet...).
