View source for Zynthian Emulator Setup for Development



== Installation / Setup: ==
There are two Setup Scripts:
* [https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-sys/blob/master/scripts/setup_system_desktop_jessie.sh Debian Jessie]
* [https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-sys/blob/master/scripts/setup_system_desktop_fc23.sh Fedora 23]
It can help you to setup your system, but probably you need to tweak a little. I recommend to run line by line from the terminal, trying to understand what you do ;-)

== Execution: ==
Open 4 terminals. Of course, you can use less, but i prefer to use separate terminals:

'''Terminal 1: Jack Start & Midi Connections'''
<source lang="bash">
qjackmidictl &
</source>

'''Terminal 2: Alsa => Jack MIDI bridge'''
<source lang="bash">
a2jmidid -e
</source>
Perhaps you want to add the "a2jmidid -e" command to your qjackctl setup ;-)

'''Terminal 3: Autoconnector'''
<source lang="bash">
cd zynthian
cd zynthian-ui
./zynthian_autoconnect_jack.py
</source>

'''Terminal 4: Emulator'''
<source lang="bash">
cd zynthian
cd zynthian-emuface
./zynthian_emuface.py
</source>

If you set the environment variable "ZYNTHIANX" like this:

<source lang="bash">
export ZYNTHIANX=$DISPLAY
</source>

Zynthian UI will open the native engine GUI when available.
