spotify-linux-installer/README.md

Reason for this fork

I first heard about this project on r/openSUSE. When I saw that u/PaoloRotolo needed help with making a .spec file, and realizing I had some spare cycles I could contribute, I forked the repo and got to work. The changes I made have since been merged into upstream.

Spotify 1.0 installer for Linux

Automatically download and install latest Spotify version on Linux.

How to install

1. Clone the repo or download the archive here.
2. Run ./install-spotify.sh.
   You may need to make the script executable first with chmod +x install-spotify.sh.
3. Enjoy the music! :)

How to unistall

Just run ./unistall-spotify.sh.

Why this repo

Basically for the same reasons of this repo. If installing Spotify is very easy on Debian based distros, it can be tricky on other Linux systems like OpenSuse. In fact, projects like opensuse-spotify-installer or spotify-make still uses a very old and now unstable version of Spotify that requires additional dependencies to work.

Using this script, you'll install latest Spotify available (1.0.*). The script has been tested on a fresh OpenSuse installation and it doesn't require additional dependancies to make Spotify work. Please test it on other distros and let me know what doesn't work so we can build a list of dependencies together.

The script doesn't require root.

Supported distros

	Dependanices	Notes
OpenSuse	binutils	Works well on a fresh OpenSuse installation. Just requires binutils to extract the .deb file
Ubuntu/Debian	libasound2 libcurl3 libgconf-2-4 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libnss3 libssl1.0.0 libxss1 libxtst6 xdg-utils	Dependancies taken from Spotify's official control file

Dependencies

Debian	libssl1.0.0	Download
