## License

MuseScore is licensed under GPL version 3.0. See [license file](https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/blob/master/LICENSE.txt) in the same directory.



## Packages

See [Code Structure on Wiki](https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/wiki/CodeStructure)



## Building

**Read the [Compilation section](https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/wiki/Set-up-developer-environment) of the [MuseScore Wiki](https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/wiki) for a complete build walkthrough and a list of dependencies.**



### Getting sources

If using git to download repo of entire code history, type:



    git clone https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore.git

    cd MuseScore



Otherwise, you can just download the latest source release tarball from the [Releases page](https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/releases), and then from your download directory type:



    tar xzf MuseScore-x.x.x.tar.gz

    cd MuseScore-x.x.x



### Release Build

To compile MuseScore for release, type:



    cmake -P build.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release



If something goes wrong, append the word "clean" to the above command to delete the build subdirectory:



    cmake -P build.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release clean



Then try running the first command again.



### Running

To start MuseScore, type:



    cmake -P build.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release run



Or run the compiled executable directly.



### Debug Build

A debug version can be built and run by replacing `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`

with `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` in the above commands.



If you omit the `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` option entirely then `RelWithDebInfo` is

used by default, as it provides a useful compromise between Release and Debug.



### Testing

See the [Unit tests section](https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/wiki/Unit-tests) of the [MuseScore Wiki](https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/wiki) for instructions on how to run the test suite.



### Code Formatting



Run `./hooks/install.sh` to install a pre-commit hook that will format your staged files. Requires that you install `uncrustify`.



If you have problems, please report them. To uninstall, run `./hooks/uninstall.sh`.
