Deezer for linux
This repo is an UNOFFICIAL linux port of the official windows-only Deezer app. Being based on the windows app, it allows downloading your songs to listen to them offline!
It packages the app in a number of formats:
- Flatpak
- Snap (not tested yet)
- AppImage (can’t automatically login without desktop integration)
rpm(Fedora, Red Hat, CentOS, openSUSE, …)deb(Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, elementary OS, …)tar.gz/zip/7zto install anywhere else
It was done thanks to the hard work of SibrenVasse, who packaged the app for the AUR.
Please note that it is still in alpha stage, and you will probably need to install some things in order to generate the packages from source (nodejs and npm at least).
Flatpak
The main point of the project is the flatpak image.
You can install it thanks to the flatpakref file.
To build it from source, you can one of the following commands:
# To build it and install it
make install_flatpak
# To just build it, but do nothing with it
make build_flatpak
# To build it and install it in the local repo (which you can import later)
make export_flatpak
And when it is installed, you can run it with flatpak run dev.aunetx.deezer, or from the desktop icon.
AppImage
This project also generates an AppImage file, which can be used as a stand-alone application.
To use it, you must build it from source for the moment: the package size is randomly big, which prevents me from making a public release.
To generate it from source, call:
make build_appimage
And the image should be in the artifacts/x64 folder.
Because of the way AppImage work, excepted if you use appimaged, you will not be able to login from the browser: the you are not redirected to the application. To make it work, you must open a first instance of the app, and copy the link shown in https://www.deezer.com/desktop/login/electron/callback. In a terminal (where the `.AppImage file is), call:
deezer-desktop-*.AppImage deezer://autolog/...
And you should be automatically logged in.
rpm / deb / tar.gz / 7z / zip / snap
To generate the rpm/deb/tar.gz/7z/zip/snap packages, you can call make build_pkgs, everything should be generated in artifacts/x64.
Please note that generating all at once will take a very long time, and it oddly results in big package sizes for the moment.
The tar.gz is not a pacman package by the way, but just an archive containing the executable (like for 7z and zip). I can’t get to generate pacman packages for the moment (throws an error, will investigate later).
To only generate rpm or deb, call:
make build_rpm
# or
make build_deb
Wthout package manager
This will be soon supported, but you can install it by hand with one of the generated 7z/zip/tar.gz archive
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This work is UNOFFICIAL, and Deezer does not officially support linux yet.
Installing/using this is consequently outside of the scope of the Deezer EULA, and I am not responsible for your usage of this.
I will try to talk to Deezer to ask them if I can upload this on Flathub, but even if they say yes (which is nearly impossible), this work is still unofficial.
