Installation

Read the developer handbook for a complete build walkthrough and a list of dependencies.

  • unpack source distribution

      tar xvofj mscore-x.x.x.tar.bz2
    
  • make

      cd mscore-x.x.x
      make release
    

if something goes wrong, then remove the whole build subdirectory with make clean and start new with make release

  • install as root user

      sudo make install
    

Program Documentation

To generate the program documentation with DoxyGen, type

cd build
make doxy

Browse the documentation with your favourite html browser at build/Doc/html/index.html

Run

cd build.release/mscore
./mscore

to start MuseScore. On first invocation a demofile is shown. You probably want to change that in the "Preferences" dialog.

Debug

A debug version can be built by doing make debug above, instead of make release.

To test the debug version, type

cd build.debug/mscore
./mscore
