Why this repo
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.
Supported distros
| 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 libssl1.0.0 |
Dependancies taken from Spotify's official control file |
