Introduction
Installation
We recommend that you use the software installation routines of
your distribution to install MPD. Most operating systems have a
MPD package, which is very easy to install.
Installing on Debian/Ubuntu
Install the package mpd:
apt-get install mpd
Compiling from source
Download the source tarball from the MPD home
page and unpack it:
tar xjf mpd-0.14.2.tar.bz
cd mpd-0.14.2
Make sure that all the required libraries and build tools are
installed. The INSTALL file has a list.
Now configure the source tree:
./configure
The --help argument shows a list of
compile-time options. When everything is ready and
configured, compile:
make
And install:
make install
