How to install on Linux without apt?

[T-vK]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Most Linux Distributions don't come with apt. Some use yum/dnf, some use pacman, some use app, some use emerge, some use flatpak, some use snap and some don't have a package manager at all.

Thus the install script only works on a small subset of Linux distributions.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add instructions on how to build/run this project from source. Including a list of required dependencies the user needs to install first.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Provide an Appimage to support all Linux distros, withoht the user having to install dependencies manually.

The minimal required dependencies can be found at development documentation python3.8 and ledfx can be install from pip
python3 -m pip install ledfx

or try the prebuild beta

I'd like to add here, that the AUR includes a pkgbuild for LedFx, see here. So for arch based distros, you can install LedFx with a single command, like yay -S ledfx-git.

Btw, i use arch.

I haven't had any success on Fedora so far btw. No matter if I use the stable or beta. I tried from source, using the python module and using docker-compose. I can get to the point where the Web Interface is available and detects my WLED strip, but I can't get audio input to work.

How did you try? Did you attach the virtual microphone to the monitor of your primary speaker? In case you are not sure, you probably didn't, in that case you might want to reread the README, ping me here, or the dev on his discord.

I am running into the same issue. I think the issue has to do with Fedora using pipewire (+wireplumber) instead of pulseaudio. I'm also not sure what imput device to select, but having the same issue with all of them.
