Topic: What is the pianoteq executable command for linux?

Hello,

This is most likely a beginner question but I'm new to linux and need some much appreciated tech help...

I was able to extract the linux zip and can see the files now, but what is the executable command to launch pianoteq standalone? Is there something more I need to do beforehand?

Thanks!

Hi, open the folder where Pianoteq is located and start the program with a simple double-click.  Which window manager do you use?

Re: What is the pianoteq executable command for linux?

I'm trying to run it on a chromebook, I installed the linux development environment, and extracted the zip in my linux via terminal commands.

Open à Terminal.
Then click on pianoteq and drag it in the terminal.
That will give you the command line.

In the folder where pianoteq executable is installed, for chromebook probably the arm-64bit folder, if not try arm-32bit

./pianoteq

Re: What is the pianoteq executable command for linux?

Thanks for the replies everyone! So I see 3 folders within the Pianoteq linux download.

x86-64bit
arm-64bit
arm-32bit

Each folder has these files inside them:

Pianoteq 8 STAGE.lv2
Pianoteq 8 STAGE.so
Pianoteq 8 STAGE

So how exactly do I write the full command in penguin terminal to execute the opening of the file I need?

*I'm unable to drag and drop the file path in teminal as someone else had mentioned, is there another way to get the exact path info?

**it's running on Intel Celeron N4500, says 64 bit in settings if that helps. I was able to install lmms, and it works so I think I should be able to get pianoteq running as well with some guidance. I also install carla as some people mentioned that's what is used to run .lv2 files

Thanks again for the patience!

Hey everyone quick update, so I installed nautilus and was able to launch standalone from it.

I connected to ALSA, but can't get my midi keyboard to be recognized. Any tips on this?

I know nothing about Chromebook, but in linux first a usb device must be recognized by the OS. Useful commands are lsusb (list usb devices), dmesg (which shows detailed linux scanning hardware) and amidi. Once the device is found, there may be a driver that is required and may be missing. The following links may be useful:

I use Linux, but don't use Chromebook or ARM. If your Linux environment has a graphical desktop environment and uses pipewire and wireplumber instead of the older pure ALSA and JACK, then try installing and using the qpwgraph graphical-connection utility for MIDI and audio connections, and see if that helps.
