Linux Bash Script for Download and Compile
If you plan to be installing Jamulus on many Linux machines, you may want to try this script.
The following example was tested on Linux Mint and combins all the commands above into one script for Ubuntu/Linux Mint. To incorporate the different command for different Linux distributions variables define the distribution and the release for which the installation script should be performed. Example focuses on Ubuntu with release 18.04 as example. So the suggested script name for the release is e.g. install4ubuntu18_4.sh
. The script commands are generic so that the installation could also be modified so that they work on other linux distributions.
Installation dependent on Linux Distribution
The following script call different installation commands dependent on the Linux distribution. The variable DISTRO
defines which commands are executed. Set the variable dependent on your Linux distribution you are using.
DISTRO="Ubuntu
for a Ubuntu or Linux MintDISTRO="Debian
for a Debian or Raspian LinuxDISTRO="Fedora
for a Fedora Linux Furthermore if the installation is dependent of the release the variableLINVERSION
is introduced but is currently not used. In the Ubuntu if statement there is an example how version dependent installation calls can be performed.if [ "$LINVERSION" = "18.4" ] then echo "Perform Installation Specifics for $DISTRO Version $DISTRO" fi
The variable
LINVERSION
is currently not used in the following script but it is just a demo how to use the version specific installation commands.
Adaptation of the Installation Script
If you want to create an installation script for Debian just copy the script install4ubuntu18_4.sh
to install4debian10_6.sh
and modify the distro variables to
#!/bin/sh
# set DISTRO either to "Ubuntu", "Debian" or "Fedora"
DISTRO="Debian"
LINVERSION="10.6"
After that test the installation on Debian and modify the commands so that the installation script works on Debian. Please share working installation scripts in this Wiki. The maintainer of this repository might add a folder in this repository /install_scripts
for working installation scripts. Create a pull request for new installation scripts or create an issue with a request to add a documented and tested installation script to this repository.
The Installation Script
Copy the following installation script into a file and save it to the filename install4ubuntu18_4.sh
. After saving the file e.g. in your Download
directory change to the directory and call the following script with sh install4ubuntu18_4.sh
.
#!/bin/sh
# set DISTRO either to "Ubuntu", "Debian" or "Fedora"
DISTRO="Ubuntu"
LINVERSION="18.04"
# Get Jamulus Release Name with "curl" and "grep"
R=`curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/corrados/jamulus/releases/latest | grep -oP '"tag_name": "\K(.*)(?=")'`

Possible Improvements of the Installation Script for Jamulus
The script can ask in the very beginning for which linux distribution the installation script should be called. This can be tested with the command lsb_release
With the lsb_release
command the command returns the distribution specific information about a Linux distro. With a grep
command with regular expression the variable DISTRO
and LINVERSION
. E.g. the Ubuntu based systems return with the command the following information.
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
Codename: natty
The challenge is, that lsb_release
command must be available on Linux system. On CentOS/Fedora based systems lsb_release
command is only available, if the lsb
core packages are installed. So the automated Linux version detected might no work.
So reading the DISTRO
and LINVERION
with the read
command might be the better distribution dependent improvement than an automated setting with lsb_release
.
