* Installing Ardour:
On most distributions, you can double-click the file "install.sh".
Alternatively, you can use a Terminal to run the installer. Navigate
to the folder and run:
./install.sh
The installer will ask for your root password (sudo), and copy the
contents of the appropriate bundle (32-bit or 64-bit) to your /opt
folder. If your distro does not provide sudo, then run install.sh
as root (su -c ./install.sh).
* Links and Menu entries:
In addition to installing the program, the installer will create:
1) A desktop link to launch the Ardour application
2) A menu entry in Gnome/KDE
3) An uninstall script in the /opt folder.
* Uninstaller:
To uninstall Ardour, run the uninstaller script in the /opt folder
(as root). This will remove the app, desktop links, menu links, and
the uninstaller itself.
* Manual Installation:
If you would prefer to install Ardour in a custom location, then you
may simply unzip the appropriate package (32bit or 64bit) to your
preferred location and run the Ardour application from the "bin"
folder inside.
