Go to the (INACTIVE AT THE MOMENT, SORRY!) [demo page](https://beatnik-ihwgh.ondigitalocean.app/).\n2. Read the [tutorial](https://github.com/fluhus/beatnik/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md).\n3. Start making beats!\n\n## Running Locally\n\n1. Go to [releases](https://github.com/fluhus/beatnik/releases) and download the relevant file. It contains two executables: `btnk` and `gui`.\n2. Read the [tutorial](https://github.com/fluhus/beatnik/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md).\n3. Start making beats using `btnk` with the command line, or `gui` with your browser.\n\n### btnk\n\n`btnk` is a command line compiler that turns Beatnik code (typically with .btn suffix) into MIDI files.\n\nFrom the command line run:\n\n```\nbtnk file1.btn file2.btn\n```\n\n`btnk` will create file1.btn.mid and file2.btn.mid.\n\n### gui\n\n`gui` is a graphical web interface. Once you run it you can open your browser at the address it shows on the terminal.\n\nThis is an experimental thing I did for demonstration purposes. Would love to get feedback on where to take it further!\n\n## Getting The Code\n\nTo download the code and build your own:\n\n1. Install the [go](https://golang.org/) compiler (add it to your path).\n2. Set the GOPATH environment variable to you code directory.\n3. Run:  \n   ```\n   go get github.com/fluhus/beatnik\n   go install github.com/fluhus/beatnik/btnk github.com/fluhus/beatnik/gui\n   ```\n4. Find the compiled binaries under `bin` and source code under `src`.\n\nHappy coding!\n\n## Samples\n\nIsolated samples:\n[Song 2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CVjNAYApnMNlhYOlAlGLJCB7WGvBDJO5/preview),\n[50 Ways](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qEw-5D6pLfflZBiCXrj60oeYwtHhJ1h_/preview)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffluhus%2Fbeatnik","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffluhus%2Fbeatnik","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffluhus%2Fbeatnik/lists"}
