Installing Picard on Linux
Setup and install guide for Picard under Linux. If you don't want to install third party binary packages, have a look at PicardSourceInstall.
Mandriva
Picard is available in the Mandriva development version Cooker in the contribs repository. Cooker users can simply install it by running
urpmi picard
or by selecting it in rpmdrake.
Ubuntu
To install Picard on Ubuntu Gutsy follow these steps:
- Add repository
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/luks/ubuntu gutsy main
to your/etc/apt/sources.list
. See Ubuntu documentation for more detailed guide on adding repositories. - Run these commands to update lists of package and install Picard
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install picard
- Alternatively you can use Synaptic to install Picard.
The repository is signed with LukasLalinsky's PGP key. To import the key to apt, run this command:
wget http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/users/luks/public.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Debian
A package for Picard is in the Debian Experimental repository.
Gentoo
Picard Qt is now included in Gentoo Portage. To install Picard, simply run:
emerge --sync emerge picard
Note that you should enable the USE flag "ffmpeg" if you want acoustinc fingerprinting, and "cdaudio" if you want to recognize CDs from your drive.
Arch Linux
Augusto Oliveira has created the necessary PKGBUILDs for Picard 0.7 and all its dependencies. The main PKGBUILD can be found at:
And the procedure to be followed to install it can be found at:
Fedora 7, 8 and Higher
Picard is now in the official Fedora package collection:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/picard
since dependent packages PyQt4 and libdiscid are now also available in Fedora. Just install with yum
yum install picard
Currently these packages do not have support for acoustic fingerprinting because that depends on ffmpeg which isn't available in Fedora due to patent issues in ffmpeg.
