Installation</h2> +<p> +<h2>2.1 How to Obtain MusE</h2> +MusE is available at the MusE Homepage, located at +<a href="http://www.muse-sequencer.org/">http://www.muse-sequencer.org/</a>. +Download the latest non-beta release and follow the +installation instructions below. + +<h2>2.2 System Requirements</h2> +To run MusE on your workstation, the following conditions must be met: +<ul> + <li>A GNU/Linux distribution (Red Hat, Debian, etc.) + <li>A working windowing system (most likely X Windows) + <li>qt 2.2 (<a href="http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt">http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt</a>) + <li>gcc 2.95.2 (<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html</a>) + <li>glibc 2.1 (<a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc">http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc</a>) + <li>Linux kernel configured with RealTimeClock support (<tt>/dev/rtc</tt>) + <li>ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) 0.5.9c (it should work with standard OSS drivers as well) + <li>an external midi device +</ul> + +<h2>2.3 Compiliation and Installation</h2> +Unpack the newly-downloaded tarball into a directory and edit +the file <tt>make.inc</tt>. +<p> +The most important variables to set in this file are: +<ul> + <li>QTDIR + <li>ALSA + <li>OSS +</ul> + +Point <tt>QTDIR</tt> to where your QT libraries are installed. +<tt>ALSA</tt> and <tt>OSS</tt> are boolean values (ie. <tt>yes</tt> +or <tt>no</tt>) that tell MusE how to handle Midi and Audio on your +system.
