Audacity 2.4.2 - Folder location

Audacity 3 Help Forum GNU/Linux
1

Hi

So I installed 2.4.2 as per the detailed and very helpful instructions here. All working well (apart from the wave colour but I think that is me not understanding it!)

Anyway, I downloaded the files for install, built and installed it but the installation only seems to exist in my Downloads folder? So if I shift that folder anywhere else, Audacity will not load. I thought it would have copied files to the main file location in Linux Mint?

I have probably explained that really poorly, sorry!

If you were following these steps: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/building-audacity-2-4-2-on-ubuntu-20-04/57719/1
ensure that you’ve done the final step:

sudo make install

That’s the step that copies the newly built Audacity into the system directories and creates an App menu launcher (so that Audacity is available in the main App menu).

3

Nope, double checked, had done that as it appears in my Main menu to launch.

Just moved the install folder from Downloads to somewhere safe and Audacity doesn’t launch again?

4

Audacity should be installed here:

/usr/local/share/audacity/
5

No, I just have 6 items in that location. So it looks like everything is just in my Downloads folder - do I need to move that folder into user/local/share/audacity?

6

Do you mean that you have 6 items in

/usr/local/share/audacity/

or 6 items in

/usr/local/share/
7

Sorry, was in wrong folder

8

Which instructions? Please post a link.

10

Those instructions will install Audacity to /usr/local/share/audacity/
Your screenshot shows the installation path for the repository version of Audacity, /usr/share/audacity/

11

I’m confused, sorry, do I need to redo it all again?

Edit

In both/usr/share/audacity and/usr/local/share/audacity, I see the same three folders and one file?

The only way it seems to exist and run is in my Downloads folder. I’m sorry if I am a bit slow on the uptake

12

It will certainly be less confusing if you uninstall the repository version before installing 2.4.2.

13

I’m so confused? The instructions didn’t say anything about building in a different folder? Legit have I missed something?

14

It doesn’t matter much where you build it.
I build in “~/Sourcecode/audacity/”

If it builds correctly without errors, then “sudo make install” command will copy the build to the correct system locations (mostly “/usr/local/share/audacity/”)

Hi

No, same again

Have you uninstalled the repository version of Audacity?

17

I thought I had? Let me double check

18

Yup, had done, totally removed and reinstalled everything again (rebuilt it), same issue. I can work with it in Downloads, I am puzzled why it it’s doing it?
