Running eDRUMin on Fedora

Sharkuel · Post by **Sharkuel** » Thu Jan 09, 2025 8:31 pm

Hello again my fellow Linux enjoyers and eDRUMin users.

Following my previous posts where I shared the packages/dependencies needed to run eDRUMin on both Arch Linux and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (should also run on other OpenSUSE derivatives like Leap and Slowroll), I have decided to test the waters with Fedora.

As I stated in my previous posts, I was a bit sad that if I needed to use this fantastic tool to setup my edrummin modules, I would be forced to run a Debian-based distro, I decided to investigate the packages needed on other Linux distros, given that not everyone uses Debian/Ubuntu, and actually there are a lot of musicians and sound engineers on other distros.

Fedora is one such cases, where there are people on the COPR comunity developing solutions for audio production, and also Fedora has the Fedora JAM spin that basically is a tailored version of Fedora that comes ready out of the box for recording and music production.

So, once again, and with help of people in Discord, I managed to track down the equivalent packages on Fedora:

Code: Select all

sudo dnf install xcb-util-cursor-devel libusbx-devel

My advice is to replace the apt-get command on the install.sh file with the line above, and run the installer as usual. see bellow for the altered script example:

Code: Select all

Once it is properly installed with the afformentioned packages, you sould have a running application ready to set and configure your eDRUMin devices.
