Okay, so today I’m gonna talk about getting this thing called “Momentum Sampler” working on Linux. It was a bit of a journey, let me tell you.
First off, I had to make sure Docker was up and running on my machine. That’s kind of a basic thing, you know, gotta have the tools before you start building. So I checked that, and yep, Docker was all good to go.
Then, I moved on to setting up the environment. Found out I needed this “.env” file. It’s basically where you put all your settings and stuff. I followed some guide that showed me how to make one, copying and pasting some default values into it. Nothing too complicated.
Now, the tricky part was actually getting the Momentum Sampler itself. I stumbled upon a website talking about a “Momentum client” for Windows. Windows? I am using Linux! That wasn’t going to work for me. I kept digging though.
I saw some buzz about this thing being “free” and letting you use your own samples. That sounded pretty cool. It had some good reviews for some editor. It caught my interest.
Somewhere else, I found a version number, “1.4.81” I think it was. And the info said it worked on all these Windows versions, but no sign of Linux. Not very helpful, right?
Then, I hit another page talking about PWAs and browser-based features. I was looking to install a program, not some web app thingy. Honestly, I didn’t even get what that was about.
Finally, after a bunch of searching, I found this guide on “building Momentum” from scratch. It mentioned binaries for Windows and macOS. Still no Linux! I was thinking maybe I should just follow the instructions to build it myself for Linux. But it was getting late and I was feeling lazy.
Then, I decided to try one more time. I looked up “Install Momentum” and found another page. I am reading through their instructions to see if I missed anything. I followed their instructions step by step.
- Step 1: Verify that Docker is running on the system.
- Step 2: Set up the .env file.
- Step 3: Find where to download the Momentum Sampler.
- Step 4: Try to install it.
After a few hours, I finally got it! I am running Momentum Sampler on my Linux machine.
