Do you think it might be worth including the manual repo instructions somewhere, or at least the links to the relevant repos themselves? I recently wanted to temporarily install a beta version and had to dig back through the forum topics for a few major versions to find the repo links and instructions for adding a repo manually.
But I've also always installed manually rather than using InstallJRMC so I may be in the minority here? Is InstallJRMC now the official way to install?
Basically I'm thinking of an updated and stripped down version of these threads AwesomeDonkey used to maintain: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,129852.0.html. Just some documentation of the necessary commands to install the repos manually on Debian in case someone needs to.

Yes, that's a good idea!

I am the first to admit that my experience with Linux is sparse. But I expected to be able to follow simple directions and come to the desired result. On my brand new (headless) Ubuntu box (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) I want to install MC and use it as a DNLA server. After installing curl I executed this command:
curl -O https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/installJRMC/raw/master/installJRMC && chmod +x ./installJRMCThe result was this:
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 55979 0 55979 0 0 143k 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 143k
That did not look very promising looking at the percentages received etc. And as I feared the InstallJRMC command was not found. Now I know I should put on my big boys pants and start searching the web for a solution but I would very much appreciate it if somebody is able to give me at least a clue were to look at.
Thanks in advance

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This may be outdated as of this version, but I really loved the how to installation that was done by Awesome Donkey for version 28 and earlier editions.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

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.
