Using musikCube in Linux

1. Install wine [1] (http://www.winehq.org/). In Debian based distros (Ubuntu) this is as simple as apt-get install wine
2. Open a terminal and use the following command
3. wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/musikCube_1.0/musikCube.exe --nographics
   OR If you can find musikCube under the wine menu you can launch it that way.
4. Navigate to the View drop down menu then uncheck Now Playing and Playlist Info Vis

• Now you are ready to use musikCube. The previous steps are mandatory for musikCube to work well enough to use. You will notice that the miniplayer plugin is the only way to adjust the volume and see the progress bar.
• Running in the no graphics mode is recommended. Since running in regular mode seems to cause some skipping when mousing over the sources list.

Launchers

There are many ways to make launchers depending on your window manager.

gnome/kde/xfce

Wine should list musikCube for you under the wine menu.

shell method

Open a terminal and do the following steps:

1. cd ~
2. echo "wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/musikCube_1.0/musikCube.exe --nographics" > mclauncher
3. chmod +x mclauncher
4. ~/mclauncher

• This last step runs the script to launch musikCube. You will need to run musikCube with this last command when you want to use it.
