OcenAudio on Mint Linux
How to install OcenAudio 3.3.10 on Linux Mint 18.3
This is from a guide that can be found here:
It is a good guide, but as has been observed over the 20+ years this wiki has been around, most everyone else changes their URL links or removes articles after time. Therefore, the basic instructions have been duplicated here, however, credit goes to Liam of www.linuxhelp.com
Some modifications to the guide have been made since we don't recommend operating as 'root' we make use of the sudo command.
1. update the system repository
sudo apt-get update
2. download the package from the last known working location. You can download it to the Downloads directory of your home directory ~/Downloads
wget http://www.ocenaudio.com/downloads/index.php/ocenaudio_debian64.deb
3. install the package with the Debian package installer
sudo dpkg -i ocenaudio_debian64.deb
4. Just as the guide suggested, I ran into errors. The instructions in the guide took care of the missing dependencies. The -f or --fix-broken command switch will correct a system with broken dependencies automatically, most of the time.
sudo apt-get install -f
5. Did it install? (this is not a necessary step since you can just look for it in the Cinnamon menu.
dpkg -l ocenaudio
The guide was success in installing OcenAudio 3.3.10 on Linux Mint 18.3 on April 2018. Works good! Remember, don't run as root, be a sudoer it's safer.
