With both Debian Bookworm and Ubuntu you this by installing the build-essential package using the terminal command as shown below.\n\n```\nsudo apt install build-essential\n```\n\nThe ALSA utils package is also required but should be installed by default. If not use the command below.\n\n```\nsudo apt install alsa-utils\n```\nUse the MAKEFILE to compile as shown below. \n\n```\nmake\n```\n\nTo run the Toy Synthesizer from the terminal use\n\n```\n./toysynth\n```\n\n## To do\n\n* tones for sharps\n* different tone sounds\n\n## Versioning\n\n[SemVer](http://semver.org/) is used for versioning. The version number has the form 0.0.0 representing major, minor and bug fix changes.\n\n## Author\n\n* **Alan Crispin** [Github](https://github.com/crispinprojects)\n\n## License\n\nToy Synthesizer is licensed under LGPL v2.1. \n\n## Project Status\n\nActive.\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\n* [Geany](https://www.geany.org/) can be used as a source code editor for opening, viewing and then compiling the Toy Synthesizer C code. Geany is lightweight and has an integrated terminal for building the application.\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcrispinprojects%2Ftoy-synthesizer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcrispinprojects%2Ftoy-synthesizer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcrispinprojects%2Ftoy-synthesizer/lists"}
