You know HipHop? It is an application lets you listen instantly to more than 45 million songs. No ads and totally free!<\/b><\/p>\n

HipHop works on Windows, Mac and Linux (64-bit only<\/b>). This simple tutorial will show you how to install it in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit<\/b>. Should also works on other Ubuntu releases.<\/p>\n

\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

There will be a few Linux commands in the below steps. Don’t be scared, just copy and paste them one by one in a terminal window (open terminal via Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b>) and hit Enter to run. <\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Install required library via command:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install libudev1 nodejs<\/pre>\n
Type in your user password when it asks. Just type in mind and hit enter because terminal displays nothing when you typing a password. <\/p>\n
2.<\/b> Create a symbolic link so that the app will find the library:<\/p>\n
sudo ln -s \/lib\/x86_64-linux-gnu\/libudev.so.1 \/usr\/lib\/libudev.so.0<\/pre>\n
3.<\/b> Download HipHop from:<\/p>\n
HipHop on Github<\/a><\/p>\n
So far the package is HipHop-0.4.6.tgz<\/b><\/p>\n
4.<\/b> In terminal, run command to decompress the package to \/opt\/<\/b> directory for global use.<\/p>\n
cd \/opt\/ && sudo tar -xvzf ~\/Downloads\/HipHop-*.tgz<\/pre>\n
After this command, run ls<\/code> and you should see HipHop<\/b> folder in the list.<\/p>\n
5.<\/b> Make the app executable:<\/p>\n
cd \/opt\/HipHop\/ && sudo chmod +x HipHop<\/pre>\n
6.<\/b> You can now launch the app via:<\/p>\n
\/opt\/HipHop\/HipHop<\/pre>\n
\"install-hiphop-ubuntu\"<\/a><\/p>\n
If everything is OK, let’s go create a launcher for HipHop so that you can start it from Unity Dash or Launcher.<\/b><\/p>\n
1.<\/b> First download an icon for the app. Below command will download the logo at the top of this post.<\/p>\n
cd ~\/Downloads\/ && wget https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/hiphop-icon.png<\/pre>\n
2.<\/b> Move the icon into the system’s icons folder (\/usr\/share\/icons):<\/p>\n
sudo mv ~\/Downloads\/hiphop-icon.png \/usr\/share\/icons\/hiphop.png<\/pre>\n
3.<\/b> Ubuntu handles app launchers via .desktop<\/b> files under \/usr\/share\/applications\/<\/b>. We have to create one manually via:<\/p>\n
sudo gedit \/usr\/share\/applications\/hiphop.desktop<\/pre>\n
When the file opens, copy and paste below into it.<\/p>\n
[Desktop Entry]\nType=Application\nName=hiphop\nExec=\/opt\/HipHop\/HipHop\nHidden=false\nNoDisplay=false\nX-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false\nComment=\nIcon=hiphop\nStartupNotify=true\nTerminal=false\nCategories=GNOME;GTK;RasterGraphics;Viewer;Utility;Network;<\/pre>\n
\"hiphop-desktop-file\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Save the file and now you can search and open HipHop from Unity Dash.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
