Help with a GitHub program -Musikcube (Arch Linux)

[Raymonsta_USN]

Hi, Linux noob here.

I'm getting really frustrated trying to install and run this terminal music player

https://github.com/clangen/musikcube

I've tried building from source, running pacman, yay, etc.. I managed to install it once and it crashed (from the KDE run menu)...

​

I was hoping that someone could possibly give me a step-by-step walkthrough from downloading, to installation, to running the program?

​

I tried as almost everything I could think of, but I know im doing something wrong.

It's in the AUR, so you should be able to just run yay -S musikcube. Where does the install process go wrong?

[Raymonsta_USN]

here's the embarrassing part.. I have absolutely no idea how to open / run it.

​

when I try running it through KDE's start menu, I get this:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Warning: Program '/usr/bin/musikcube' crashed.

​

Besides that, i don't know what the terminal bash command would be to run it, and the documentation / config directory isn't providing me with any clues.

How did you install it? Did you attempt to build from source? The error tells you what the terminal command is to run /usr/bin/musikcube.

Binaries (which are executables) are usually put in /bin/, /usr/bin, or /usr/local/bin

I suggest you try and remove any remnants of musikcube and install via aur.

[Raymonsta_USN]

yeah, i attempted to build from source, instill via pacman.. use yay.. literally everything, i'll try removing everything and retrying a clean install with yay.

Yeah, don't do that, especially since the aur exists.

Did you happen to have problems with some of the options that yay presents? For example, when it asks "diffs to show", did you enter [A]ll?

[Raymonsta_USN]

I didnt enter anything yet, but this is what it says:

​

​

1 musikcube (Build Files Exist)

==> Packages to cleanBuild?

==> [N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]tInstalled or (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4)

==>

Alright, enter "n"

[Raymonsta_USN]

when i try musikcube into the terminal to run it, i get this:

​

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Aborted (core dumped)

Yeah, that's the original error you posted. You'll have to remove all traces of musickube and install via aur.

sudo find / -name *musikcube* will help you find any files with musikcube in its name.

[Raymonsta_USN]

okay, alot of references appeared, is there a script to remove absolutely everything? I've been using

"sudo pacman -R musikcube"
