HowTo: Install and Run

Currently, we don't have a streamlined install process. So here's how to install and run the program:

To install, clone master for the latest features, then follow the instructions below:

How do I get set up?

Install dependencies listed below in the format CPAN/Debian/Arch/Fedora (may be different on other distributions):

• GTK+3/libgtk3-perl/perl-gtk3/perl-Gtk3.

• Pango/libpango-perl/pango-perl/perl-Pango.

• MIDI/libmidi-perl/AUR:perl-midi-perl/NA

• Perl/perl. (This should be pre-installed in most distributions.)

The Perl libraries can be downloaded through your distribution's package manager or via CPAN. On Windows, setup is recommended using WSL2. MSYS2 has been attempted and is essentially impossible to get the Perl Gtk3 bindings to compile in. Eventually, we may require Locale::gettext/liblocale-gettext-perl/perl-locale-gettext.

Once set up, run "perl bin/SeekMIDI.pl" in the folder containing SeekMIDI to run the program.
