Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Qomp is an open-source minimal music player written in Qt, having support for both local files and online music streams. Also, it allows the users to play music from several music hostings like: Yande.Music, myzuka.ru, pleer.com, has a Last.fm scrobbling and proxy support.
The latest version available is Qomp 0.8 Beta, which fixes the myzuka.ru support.
In this article I will show you how to install Qomp 0.8 Beta on Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Deepin 2014, Pinguy OS 14.04, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2 and other Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 derivative systems.
Because it is not available via any repository or PPA, we have to download the Qomp 0.8 Beta package for our system’s architecture and install it via the command-line package manager. I prefer gdebi over dpkg due to the fact that it also handles dependencies.
How to install Qomp 0.8 Beta on 32 bit Ubuntu 14.10, Ubuntu 14.04 and derivative systems:
$ sudo apt-get install gdebi
$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/qomp/files/0.8/qomp_0.8-beta-1_i386.deb
$ sudo gdebi qomp_0.8-beta-1_i386.deb
