Is there a version of Audacity that will run on Alpine Linux?












1














I was trying to get the Gentoo version from the Audacity website, but as far as I can tell, Audacity is not ready for Gentoo Linux yet.



Anyone know if the Ubuntu version will work on Alpine? Or one of the others?

              Any newbie trying to get this to work ... remember to enable the community repository by editing /etc/apk/repositories and then use:



              apk update
              apk add audacity


              At a minimum you need to get ALSA enabled, otherwise all inputs and outputs in audacity will show as blank. Follow these instructions:
