Installation¶
Snap¶
The easiest way to get Mesmerize is through the Snap Store
Command line snap installation:
sudo snap install mesmerize
After installation simply run mesmerize in the terminal and the application will launch in ~10-30 seconds.
Make sure you have snapd installed, which is required for running snap apps.
Ubuntu 16.04 and later usually come pre-installed with snapd.
You should be able to install snapd through apt for most Debian based distros:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Installing snapd on Fedora:
sudo dnf install snapd
To install snapd on other distros please see: https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snapd
If you have trouble installing Mesmerize via snap you might need to install core18 first:
sudo snap install core18
