Installing MuseScore 4 (Linux/Chromebook)

[@Musicisair715]

I've been running MS3 on Linux for years now and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why when I installed MS4, I wasn't able to open the app. Your video was quick, concise, and helpful. I don't know what I would've done if your video wasn't here. Thank you.

Thankyou so much for the detailed video! It was super helpful in getting things working - however, I'm stuck on the "install" command step, whenever I do I get "cannot execute: required file not found". It looks like some other people have had the same or a similar problem, is there a fix?

I do have one Question this is simply in curiosity but how would i download updates for musescore as it keeps saying to update it but i do not know how to. As it keeps giving be Bash command not found

See the info in the description - basically, after having install the AppImage, you can then download and install updates by simply running the AppImage with the “update” option.

[@jovannimolina5917]

Im having problems with it. It was my first time using limux, and i can't download it because when i type "Ls," all it shows is the file name instead of the code you have at 2:10. Do you know how this happen?

For some reason I don't understand, some Chromebooks seem to need this. Try running "sudo apt install fuse3" and answering "Y" if it asks for permission to install. Then try the AppImage again. If that doesn't work, try that same command without the "3". Let me know if it works!

You shouldn’t need that anymore; muse hub was recently replaced with a new program called muse sounds manager and it no longer needs the service to be started separately.

@@clovie5658 it’s hard to say; best to ask for help on the official Support forum on MuseScore.org and provide more info on your system and exactly what is happening.

[@akilpat]

Thanks for this helpful video! I'm running linux on a chromebook as well and the installation went smoothly for me. The issue I'm running into is how large the muse sounds download is. Is it possible to store the muse sounds files on external storage (micro SD card) and have them run properly in musescore? I just downloaded muse strings and it appears to be several GB, and there is no way I can fit the rest on my 64GB chromebook.

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

If you're handy with Linux at all, you can mount the drive via ChromeOS ("Manage Linux sharing") and then set up /srv/muse-hub to be a symbolic link ("ln -s") to a folder on the external drive. FWIW, though, I have all of Muse Sounds on my 64GB Chromebook. They take up "only" 15 GB or so, and ChromeOS doesn't need much nor does Linux itself, so its really just about how much is left to temporarily cache your Google Drive files. I'm finding it's working fine.

[@raffichen]

So now I have Musescore working, however, it doesn't open when I click it. The only way to get there is by typing mscore4portable in the terminal which I don't really mind. But that's a bit ... inconvenient. Any suggestions?

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

I can't think of any good reason for that. When you ran the "install", did you see any error messages? You try removing it "mscore4portable remove") and then repeating the process, and make sure you pay attention to any error messages that appear. Then head to the official Support forum on musescore.org and start a new post and give more info on your system and also paste int the console log from the install.

Great video, very clear. You are the best, Marc!

[@samuelitooooo]

I read that Muse Hub updates everything it comes with (including MuseScore). If so, then do I still need to do the "mscore4portable update" command as shown in this video's description?

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

Muse Hub does not install or update MsueScore itself on Linux - only on Windows and macOS. So the explicit update command is the simplest way. You could instead download the updated version manually and install it in the same manner as the previous version, but that's unnecessary extra work.

[@samuelitooooo]

@@OutsideShoreMusic Thanks for the differentiation because I am on Linux (Ubuntu). I can get and update MuseScore and Audacity by other means; do I still get sounds and VSTs from Muse Hub?

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

@@samuelitooooo MuseScore you get directly from musescore.org as shown in this video. Presumably something similar is available for Audacity.

Hi, when I ran the Terminal a message popped up that AppImage requires FUSE to run. Would you have any idea how I could solve this solution?

Could i have both MS3 and MS4 at the same time? There are soundfronts i still wanna work with in MS3 which I know that MS4 doesnt have the synthesizer anymore

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

Yes, you can have both. But I think you are misunderstanding something - MuseScore 4 certainly still has a synthesizer (or it wouldn’t be able to play sounds), and it still supports Soundfonts. The only restriction is that you can not currently switch between individual sounds *within* a single soundfont, so if your custom soundfont isn’t GM compatible, you’ll need to split it into individual files. There are free tools to do this.

@@onewhogetsbread9975 That's one possibility, yes. A better one for the majority of scores, though, is to simply open them in MuseScore 4 and take advantage of the new possibilities like Muse Sounds that often make your old soundfonts obsolete. And if you have some very specific sound you do still need to use a third party non-GM soundfont, use one of the various free tools available to split your soundfont into separate files. Then you can take advantage of Muse Sounds for most of your instruments, use your custom sounds for the instruments that need it, and take advantage of the vastly improved engrav

I believe Raspberry Pi uses an ARM processor, so you'll need to wait for the (unofficial) ARM build to become available, hopefully any day now.

What Chromebook , will run MUSCscore4 good without spending lots of unavailable $ ?

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

MuseScore can run on any Chromebook that supports Linux - which are all Chromebooks made in the past several years, unless they are "managed" systems where a system administrator has disabled Linux support (e.g., school-owned machines). But ARM-based Chromebooks required the "unofficial" build above and isn't guaranteed to work, and won't support Muse Sounds. So I'd stick to Intel-based Chromebooks. I recommend a "Core" processor over the lower-class, but it doesn't have to be particularly high-end.

Then be sure to choose the "Linux files" folder and follow the rest of instructions as per the video.

This is way over my head but I’m going to try to follow your steps! 😅

Doesnt work for me, when opening it, it instantly crashes

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

Which processor, and which Linux distribution? If you run from the command line, what is the last log message you see on the console?

@@OutsideShoreMusic Hey i was using Arm64, but I did a ton of terminal work and got it to work, so sorry for leaving this negative comment.

Thankyou so much!

It didn't work for me at all I've tried it like 4 times

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

Well, if something goes wrong, I wouldn't expect simply repeating the same steps would fix it. What specifically goes wrong? See the video description for info about creating ".local"; also as per the other comments, some systems may require you to install libfuse2.

Thank you!

[@klraugustine]

on my chromebook it says I need to install fuse, but I dont want to break my system. What do I do?

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

When and where are you seeing that? I'm not familiar with it and am not aware of any reason why following the steps I show would cause any message about that to display.

[@klraugustine]

@@OutsideShoreMusic in the terminal it says dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 AppImages require FUSE to run

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

Did you do anything unusual when you installed Linux? The default installation should work just fine. If you run "head -1 /etc/os-release" does it report something other than Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)? If so, check docs.appimage.org/user-guide/troubleshooting/fuse.html for advice on installed FUSE. But I've never heard of anyone needing to do that on a Chromebook before. You might try asking on a Chromebook-specific help forum somewhere.

[@klraugustine]

@MasteringMuseScore whenever I typed that in it says PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" to install Linux, I just went to my chromebook settings and turned it on which Google help recommended

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

@@klraugustine Weird, then I can't really imagine why you're having a FUSE issue but I'm not and others don't seem to be either. But, probably won't hurt to install it anyhow.

[@VinnyBennett-qp5rp]

didnt work now im giving up on linux

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

If you explain more about what went wrong - and which Linux distribution you are using - we should be able to get things going.

[@JulHackChack]

Thankyou.

Hello, I get to point 3:50 in the video, and when I press enter it tells me “no such file or directory” and tells me “things to check: do the files exist and do you have the right privileges” have you any idea of what I’m doing wrong ? Thank you !

[@OutsideShoreMusic]

If the “chmod” succeeded but the next command failed, then you have a typo in that next command. Make it is is *precisely* the same as what I show - slash not balkcslash, capitalization matters, spaces exactly and only where they are in my example, etc.
