Muse Hub on Fedora(Nobara) and/or other Linux distros
Hello all!
Is there a way to install Muse Hub (and Muse Sounds) on Fedora(Nobara)?
Nobara should just be Fedora with some tweaks i.e. the dnf repos are available
I tried using alien, but that misses dependencies.
Any help appreciated!

As I understand it, the source for MuseScore is on Github... To the extent I've "poked around" Github, I don't think I've ever seen source for MuseHub -- which is something of a curiosity, I guess. You might want to approach developers on Github to ask if there is source for MuseHub, such that you could build it (if you're so inclined to go that route) for your Fedora platform.

MuseHub indeed is Closed Source, as far as I can tell
I have managed to successfully install Muse Hub on Fedora 37 with alien and rpmrebuild. I converted it to RPM with
sudo alien --to-rpm --scripts Muse_Hub.deb, then usedrpmrebuild -pe muse-hub-1.0.0.392-2.x86_64.rpmto remove the conflicting files the rpm command complained about when I tried to install the package from the %files section in the spec file. Finally, I installed it withsudo rpm -i --nodeps ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/muse-hub-1.0.0.392-2.x86_64.rpm. Bear in mind the generated RPM's filename may differ for you.The --nodeps argument was necessary because it complained about a missing file from lttng-ust even though I have the package installed and the file exists. After installing, the muse-hub service should be enabled with
systemctl enable muse-huband thensystemctl start muse-hub. The service needs to be running in order to use Muse Sounds in MuseScore, for instance.In reply to I have managed to… by QuotePilgrim
I try to repeat that procedure but fail. You don't happen to have that
rpmfile available? I'm on Fedora 37 as well.In reply to I try to repeat that… by Stefan Björk
You might be not removing the '/usr/bin' and '/usr/lib' lines from the spec file when running the rpmrebuild command. See my previous comment.
I have tried attaching my RPM, but I guess it's probably too big. Anyway if Muse Hub updates in the future you might still need to build a new RPM, and you don't want to rely on some random person on the internet making unofficial packages in a dodgy way.

When you run the
rpmrebuildcommand, at some point it will automatically open a spec file. You need to navigate down to the %files section and remove '/usr/bin' and '/usr/lib' from it.In reply to I have managed to… by QuotePilgrim
Thanks to QuotePilgrim's comments above I managed to get Muse Hub and Muse Sounds to work on Fedora 37, decided to document his suggestions and share that including an RPM for those that struggle with building it themselves. Checkout https://github.com/konstantinblaesi/muse-hub-linux
I hope an official build with a proper systemd service file is released soon :(

Thanks a lot!
My experience is that appimage of Musescore 4 on Fedora (38) can't activate Muse Sounds without installation of Musescore 3.6.2. Upon successfull Muse Sounds activation I removed Musescore 3.6.2 and everything is OK.

Thank you so much! My attempt had been bugging out, and couldn't update the few sounds I had managed to install. Now it's working perfectly smoothly.
Both with this package and my previous setup, only the MuseScore appimage can detect the sounds, and not the flathub flatpak. Has this been hour experience too?

Problem with flatpak packages should be fixed by the package maintainer.
(i guess a problem with the musesampler library. What does Diagnostics->MuseSampler->Check Muse Sampler give you?)
Do you guys know that linux users do not need to use the complete insecure Musehub?

There is even a rpm package.
Works perfectly.

Please report that to the flatpak maintainer

OMG, thank you so much!!! I searched so long for a solution for this problem.
Btw, do you know why MS always crashes when generating audio files on ubuntu (I tried every version from 22.04 until the new 23.04)
Thank you so much again!

Do you know how I could do this in Fedora Silverblue?
Just to let you all know: I run openSuse (rpm based) and also look for a way to use Muse Hub.
I'm a fedora user and it'd be interesting to have a way to install muse-hub on Fedora without having to do any kind of secondary efforts to do so. I agree that it can be a Flatpak or RPM package or any other agnostic way to install to any linux distro.
