Where is download link/how to install

[cgm707]

I am interested in the background music utility for Mac, but do not know where to find the download file, and unsure how to install.

Thank you.

See README.md:

Install

No binaries yet, but building should take less than a minute. To build and install everything, clone/download the
project and run the build_and_install.sh script. Unfortunately, it won't build if you don't have Xcode installed
because xcodebuild doesn't work on its own anymore.

The script restarts the system audio process (coreaudiod) at the end of the installation, so you might want to pause any
apps playing audio.

If you are uncomfortable following the steps above, a .dmg file should be available soon as it is listed on the todo list.

thanks for the really quick response. i have used the terminal app on my Macbook for entering info, but i am not clear on how to run the build and install script. i have no idea which item on the website is the clone/download, either.

Just found the zip file and downloaded /opened file. The rest, not sure.

Ok, here are steps that should work:

1. Click download zip button at the top right of the repository.
2. Open terminal.
3. Type cd /path/to/folder
4. Type ./build_and_install.sh

This should add both the driver and application to your system.

No such file or directory is what I get.

After typing which step? 3 or 4?

cgm707, I believe you were missing it from step 3. In step 3, you need to replace the /path/to/folder with the path on your computer such as: /Users/MY.ACCOUNT.NAME/Downloads/BackgroundMusic-master

That should work for you.

Upon my installation, I required one additional command:

sudo killall coreaudiod

And then a restart of the application worked for me! Hopefully that helps!
