You need to download the AppImage, the deb you downloaded is for ubuntu.

1. Download AppImage from here
2. Install libmpv-dev
   sudo apt install libmpv-dev
3. make the AppImage executable
   chmod +x ./Spotube-linux-x86_64.AppImage
4. Run it
   ./Spotube-linux-x86_64.AppImage
5. Enjoy 🎉

If you want to create an icon and register it in the app library you can create a .desktop file with icon and binary. This kind of guide can help you.

I had encountered the same issue when trying to install the .deb file on Debian 12 (bookworm).

It turns out that the underlying cause is that Debian 12 has moved from appindicator to ayatana-appindicator (as described here: AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator#30).

Given that Ubuntu is planning to follow Debian in deprecating appindicator in favour of ayatana-appindicator (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/+bug/1915695), it might make sense for Spotube to anticipate and move to libayatana-appindicator already.

_{P.S. Let me use this opportunity to thank all contributors for working on such a great app!}

It has been fixed on Nightly

[KRTirtho]

Fixed in v3.1.1

The libayatana-appindicators issues still happens on Debian Trixie (13) while building via flatpak-builder.

[KRTirtho]

Why'd u build the flatpak instead of installing?

[PhilDevProg]

Because there currently is no Flatpak for ARM (#715)

[KRTirtho]

This is not happening because of this, for sure. It happens only to the .deb package. In flatpak Spotube is using distro agnostic dependencies so no way this can cause an issue

[PhilDevProg]

I tried building it via flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean build com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube.yml but I always get this error so I thougt it may have something to do with this issue:

(flatpak-builder:496407): flatpak-builder-ERROR **: 19:31:43.526: Failed to load included manifest (/home/droidian/com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube/shared-modules/libappindicator/libappindicator-gtk3-12.10.json): Failed to open file ?/home/droidian/com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube/shared-modules/libappindicator/libappindicator-gtk3-12.10.json?: No such file or directory

How did you clone the repo? The repo has submodules, so you've to clone them as well

$ git clone https://github.com/KRTirtho/com.github.KRTirtho.Spotube --recursive --shallow-submodules --depth=1 --single-branch

[PhilDevProg]

Yes! That was indeed the problem. Thanks!
