I first heard about this project on r/openSUSE. When I saw that u/PaoloRotolo needed help with making a .spec file, and realizing I had some spare cycles I could contribute, I forked the repo and got to work. The changes I made have since been merged into upstream.
Automatically download and install latest Spotify version on Linux.
- Clone the repo or download the archive here.
- Run
./install-spotify.sh.
You may need to make the script executable first withchmod +x install-spotify.sh. - Enjoy the music! :)
Just run ./unistall-spotify.sh.
Basically for the same reasons of this repo. If installing Spotify is very easy on Debian based distros, it can be tricky on other Linux systems like OpenSuse. In fact, projects like opensuse-spotify-installer or spotify-make still uses a very old and now unstable version of Spotify that requires additional dependencies to work.
Using this script, you'll install latest Spotify available (1.0.*). The script has been tested on a fresh OpenSuse installation and it doesn't require additional dependancies to make Spotify work. Please test it on other distros and let me know what doesn't work so we can build a list of dependencies together.
The script doesn't require root.
| Dependanices | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| OpenSuse | binutils |
Works well on a fresh OpenSuse installation. Just requires binutils to extract the .deb file |
| Ubuntu/Debian | libasound2 libcurl3 libgconf-2-4 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libnss3 libssl1.0.0 libxss1 libxtst6 xdg-utils |
Dependancies taken from Spotify's official control file |
| Dependencies | Link | |
|---|---|---|
| Debian | libssl1.0.0 |

Did you try the script on your distro? Let us know what works.
