To install Roon Server on Clear Linux, first wait ages for updates to complete, so you can acquire a lock file to execute the following. This is needed to install cifs-utils.
sudo swupd bundle-add storage-utils
Next, try to install ffmeg. Good luck! This is what I did. Go make yourself a coffee.
git clone https://github.com/marioroy/ffmpeg-on-clear-linux.git
cd ffmpeg-on-clear-linux
sudo bash build-all
While you’re waiting for the build to complete, head over to Roon Labs and download the easy installer script. Then wait some more for ffmpeg.
And wait…
Listen to those fans whir!
Cook the dinner…
Learn how to juggle…
Install and configure Ubuntu…
Listen to Giulio Cesare in Egitto.
Watch the Roon Networking Webinar…
Get a haircut. Meet a girl, get married, and have children. Is it ready yet? Noooo.
…
Oh, it’s done.
cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh
sudo ./roonserver-installer-linuxx64.sh
And… roonserver fails to run. Get the gist? This is not straightforward, and I don’t have the time to look into it any further. Nor do I have a sense of achievement for compiling ffmpeg. Clear Linux is not intended for general-purpose use, it’s a poor desktop choice, and I would not recommend it for daily use.
