Note: in case you have an error, please check if App Installer is up to date. If it's the case, contact us with a screenshot of the error you get.

Install Audirvāna on Linux

The installation process depends on the Linux distribution:

• For Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.):

Download the **.deb file** for your system architecture from our website

Install the package using your package manager or terminal:

   sudo dpkg -i /path/to/audirvana-studio_X.X.X.X_amd64.deb

Replace the filename with the actual file you downloaded.

Install Avahi Daemon (required for network discovery):

sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon

• For RPM-based distributions (Fedora, CentOS, etc.)

Download the **.rpm file** for your system architecture from our website

Install the package using your package manager or terminal:

sudo dnf install /path/to/audirvana-studio_X.X.X.X_x86_64.rpm

Replace the filename with the actual file you downloaded.

Once installed, the executable will be located at /opt/audirvana/studio or /opt/audirvana/origin, where you can start Audirvāna.

You have two options to run it:

• Start manually

/opt/audirvana/studio

or

/opt/audirvana/origin

• Run as a service at boot

To automatically start Audirvāna on system startup, run:

sudo /opt/audirvana/studio/setAsService.sh enable
sudo /opt/audirvana/studio/setAsService.sh start

Important Notes: 

- Avahi Daemon is essential for the Audirvāna Remote app to discover your Audirvāna instance on the network

-  No GUI on Linux: Audirvāna Studio runs headless on Linux, so you'll control it entirely through the Audirvāna Remote app on your phone or tablet

-  Configuration files are stored in ~/.config/audirvana

-  Database and logs are in ~/.local/share/audirvana
