Wiki topic for installation and removal

BryanC:
Everything was downloaded correctly, if you are executing installJRMC and it is not in your PATH then you will need to use the full path to the executable. Since you have curl'd it to the current working directory therefore you can execute it with `./installJRMC`.

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the quick response. Yes the script was there (I feel stupid now). MC is happily building the Audio library as we speak. Earlier today I succeeded in mounting an SMB share (wit all my music) persistently. But when it comes to Unix/Linux workstations and servers I have some (re)learning to do I'm afraid.

Hello,

This may be outdated as of this version, but I really loved the how to installation that was done by Awesome Donkey for version 28 and earlier editions.

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,129853.0.html

I know that now its done very nicely by a script by BryanC (please correct me if I am mistaken). But sometimes the step by step guide is the one someone might prefer.
I think one should be able to get the steps from reading the script though.

Anyway, just an idea as to maybe add it to wiki? I know I followed Awesome Donkey's steps and installed version 29 without any trouble on Ubuntu. But I used the script for the version 30.

Also wanted to say a big thank you to you all who write guides and wikis and help with troubleshooting!

Awesome Donkey:
Past tutorials for MC28 and older will work for MC30 too (just edit the numbers in the terminal commands from 28 to 30), however the problem that may be encountered is in regards to adding JRiver's repository in newer versions of Debian and Ubuntu. I recall it giving off a warning about something being depreciated (and I think there was some sort of issue/error when adding it too) whereas with Bryan's script, it just works perfectly. Besides not having as much time as I'd like, that depreciation warning and the ease of Bryan's cross distro script making MC installs on Linux super easy, I didn't see any reason to continue the tutorials for manual setup.
