# Installing Libresonic
This document is designed to explain how to install LibreSonic as a Tomcat module, on a computer running Linux. 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.rc1/libresonic-main-6.1.rc1.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. 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.
