Linux needs a native client for Deezer!Replied by Deezer

Hi sipho, thanks for pointing this out. I tried your fork previously but some library on my system was not recent enough to meet the requirements; some node.js dependencies, iirc (I’m running last year’s Mint 19.3, so based on Ubuntu 18.04). Thanks for your effort of providing the Ubuntu/Debian installer though! I’ll try again once I upgrade to more recent libraries.  cheers, Kai If you last tried the fork more than 8 days ago, you should try it again. I changed the install script to manually pull the correct version of Node.js rather than relying on the distributions version. Your issue might be fixed. If it hasn’t been fixed, I might try and take a look at the install script to make it support older versions of Node.js. It doesn’t actually need a particularly new version to run. There is just one code formatter used to patch Deezer that does. I could probably use an older version if using new versions of Node.js is difficult for a lot of people.

Linux needs a native client for Deezer!Replied by Deezer

Hej all, anyone tried running deezer in a virtual/emulated environment? For example: run Android in a VirtualBox, then run the Deezer App on Android or run the Deezer Windows app using WINE / Codeweaver’s Crossover Anyone has experience with this? cheers, Kai  Hi @tobert. There is actually no need to run Deezer through Wine since it’s an Electron app. This means it can run natively on Linux with only a few minor tweaks which the community has already conveniently made. @SibrenVasse put a lot of work into finding these tweaks and created an AUR package for Arch Linux which you can get from here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/deezer/. Alternatively, if you are using Ubuntu or another Debian derivative, you can try my fork of SibrenVasse’s package available here https://github.com/siphomateke/deezer.   It’s actually dead simple to port Deezer’s desktop app to Linux but I think Deezer just doesn’t want to support the thousands of Linux distributions and the bugs that come

@siphothanks for your awesome work. I installed it and all went good but at I get an error at the login, which won’t allow me to get to the main page. Here’s a screenshot so you can understand better:   @pochopsp That error might be because Deezer is not assigned to the “deezer://” URL protocol handler. My build script includes a .desktop file which automatically does this. Confirm that you have “/usr/share/applications/deezer.desktop” on your system and that it contains “MimeType=x-scheme-handler/deezer;” If your system does have the file, perhaps it just hasn’t registered the URL handler yet. A restart might help.   P.S. Sorry for taking so long to respond, Gmail put my Deezer community notifications in Spam.   @pochopsp Thanks to some advice from @SibrenVasse, your issue should be fixed in the latest version of my build script. Please try cloning and installing it from GitHub https://github.com/siphomateke/deezer and let me know how it goes.

I recently created an Ubuntu script to install Deezer based on the fantastic work done by IlyaGulya and SibrenVasse on an AUR package for Arch Linux. It should work on Debian too since Ubuntu is based on Debian, but I haven't tested it. You can view instructions on how to install it here https://github.com/siphomateke/deezer. It's not at all official and isn't guaranteed to work with future Deezer versions but it's what I am now using. I'm not sure why Deezer hasn't added support for Linux yet considering the Deezer desktop app for windows is an Electron app and runs just fine on Linux with a few minor tweaks. Hopefully this helps my fellow Ubuntu users.
