As the project expands, this guide will also expand to include other operating systems. + +## Installing From Pre-Compiled Package + +### Prerequisites + +In order to install and run Libresonic, you will need: + + * A JDK installation. 1.8.x series of OpenJDK or Oracle JDK 8+ should work. + * A running [Tomcat](http://tomcat.apache.org/) server. If you're unfamiliar with Tomcat, there are many [guides](https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/frameworks/apache-tomcat-on-ubuntu-16-04) on it. + + +### Download Libresonic + +Daily WAR files are built by Jenkins and available [here](https://jenkins.zifnab.net/job/libresonic/), curtesy of [zifnab06](https://github.com/zifnab06). + +1. Download the latest war file: + + wget https://jenkins.zifnab.net/job/libresonic/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/.repository/org/libresonic/player/libresonic-main/6.1.beta1/libresonic-main-6.1.beta1.war -O /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/libresonic.war + + Note that this command copies the war file directly to the Tomcat webapps directory, and renames it to `libresonic.war`. + +2. Create the libresonic directory and assign ownership to the Tomcat system user (if running tomcat as a service): + + mkdir /var/libresonic + chown tomcat8:tomcat8 /var/libresonic/ + +3. Start Tomcat, or restart it if running as a service, as in the example below using Systemd: + + systemctl restart tomcat8.service + + Note that it may take ~30 seconds after the service restarts for Tomcat to fully deploy the app. You can monitor /var/log/tomcat8/catalina.out for the following message: + + INFO: Deployment of web application archive /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/libresonic.war has finished in 46,192 ms + +4. In your web browser, navigate to `192.0.2.10:8080/libresonic/`, replacing `192.0.2.0` with your server's IP address, or `127.0.0.1` if installing locally. + +## Installing From Source + +### Prerequisites + +In order to build, install, and run Libresonic, you will need: + + * A recent version of [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/). + * A JDK installation. 1.8.x series of OpenJDK or Oracle JDK 8+ should work. + * A running [Tomcat](http://tomcat.apache.org/) server. If you're unfamiliar with Tomcat, there are many [guides](https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/frameworks/apache-tomcat-on-ubuntu-16-04) on it. + +On a Debian-based system, you can install all these prerequisites at once with: + + apt-get update; apt-get install tomcat8 openjdk-7-jdk maven + +### Test Your System + +1. Confirm your Maven installation: + + which mvn + +2. Confirm that the $JAVA_HOME environment variable is set: + + echo $JAVA_HOME + +3. If Java is installed, but the `JAVA_HOME` variable not set, be sure to [set it](http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-set-java_home-path-variable/) before you continue. + + +### Download and Build Libresonic + +1. Clone the Libresonic repo: + + git clone git://github.com/Libresonic/libresonic.git + cd libresonic + + If you don't have a GitHub account, use https://github.com/Libresonic/libresonic.git instead. + +2. At the time of this writing, we reccomend building from the development branch, as Libresonic has not had a stable release since being forked. + + git checkout develop + +3. Using Maven, build Subsonic: + + mvn package + +4. You should know have a war file: + + ls libresonic-main/target/libresonic.war + libresonic-main/target/libresonic.war + +5. Copy the war file to the Tomcat webapps directory: + + cp libresonic-main/target/libresonic.war /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps + +6. Create the libresonic directory and assign ownership to the Tomcat system user (if running tomcat as a service): + + mkdir /var/libresonic + chown tomcat8:tomcat8 /var/libresonic/ + +7. Start Tomcat, or restart it if running as a service, as in the example below using Systemd: + + systemctl restart tomcat8.service + + Note that it may take ~30 seconds after the service restarts for Tomcat to fully deploy the app. You can monitor /var/log/tomcat8/catalina.out for the following message: + + INFO: Deployment of web application archive /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/libresonic.war has finished in 46,192 ms + +8.
