Zrythm Flatpak

Flatpak build of Zrythm, a highly automated and intuitive digital audio workstation.

Install

flatpak install org.zrythm.Zrythm

Plugins

This package supports Flatpak builds of LV2, LXVST, and VST3 plugins. Plugins not installed as Flatpak cannot be used.

You can install Plugins using GNOME Software. Or, to view a list of installable plugins, run: flatpak install org.freedesktop.LinuxAudio.Plugins//22.08 -y

JACK Support

You need to install pipewire-jack-audio-connection-kit (included in Fedora) or pipewire-jack (Arch) which replaces JACK with the PipeWire implementation of JACK. Using normal JACK, without PipeWire, is not supported.

Memory Locking

At runtime you might be warned about memory locking. Memory locking priviliges are useful for reliable, dropout-free operation. This is not specific to Flatpak.

You can follow the guide listed in the Zrythm docs.

Maintainer notes:

Intended for Zrythm maintainers or experienced users.

Build:

Prerequisites: Assuming you have Flathub installed, along with flatpak and flatpak-builder.

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

1. Clone the repo

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flathub/org.zrythm.Zrythm
cd flathub

2. Build the Flatpak

flatpak-builder --repo=zrythm --force-clean --install-deps-from=flathub --ccache --user build-dir org.zrythm.Zrythm.json

3. Add the local repo and install the Flatpak

flatpak remote-add --user zrythm zrythm --no-gpg-verify
flatpak install --user zrythm org.zrythm.Zrythm

4. Run the Flatpak build

flatpak run org.zrythm.Zrythm

Optionally after steps 1-3 you can build and install a bundle with:

flatpak build-bundle zrythm zrythm.flatpak org.zrythm.Zrythm
flatpak install zrythm.flatpak

Other notes:

When upstream uses native PipeWire API (not PipeWire-JACK) will need:

• ensure settings "manager" permission https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/667#note_787310
