LINUX GUITAR PRO UPDATE
Go head and update everything (should be around 1.31GB). So head over to "/opt/GuitarPro6/" and the file "GPUpdater" will work.

The updater in the upper left hand corner of GP will not work most of the time (minor bug).
LINUX GUITAR PRO INSTALL
One last thing, if you want any audio what-so-ever, you will have to install the soundbanks. But hopefully, all went as described in the tutorial above. If that does not work, you might try asking for help here and searching Ubuntu's packages again, like you previously did. If you see an error message stating that your're missing a shared library, try: sudo apt-get install :i386 To be sure, run the next two commands: cd /opt/GuitarPro6/ sh launcher.sh Guitar Pro 6 should now successfully be installed on your machine. Lastly, the following command will place the "/opt/" (the real "meat" of the program): sudo mv /home//Downloads/opt/GuitarPro6 /opt/ This next command will place the pixmaps file: sudo mv /home//Downloads/usr/share/pixmaps/guitarpro6.png /usr/share/pixmaps/ desktop file in your "/applications/" folder: sudo mv /home//Downloads/usr/share/applications/sktop /usr/share/applications/ Be sure to replace "" with your computer's username, without the brackets. Now we need to manually place each folder into the correct places. Then open the only folder there, "/./", it will contain two folders and two files.Įxtract "opt" and "usr" to your Downloads folder. Once opened, you should see three files, "", "", and "debian-binary". By the way, do not try to install it any other way than the way stated here. Open your "gp6.deb" file in Archive Manager. Here is how you install the actual program itself. Īfter they been moved and the libraries installed, you will be able to use this program. Once you have them, move them to your "/lib/" folder. Search Ubuntu's packages for the two items listed below. Now you should have most of the libraries needed to run Guitar Pro.


If it asks if you would like to proceed, type "y".

Then, paste/type: sudo apt-get install libportaudio2:i386. Next, open terminal (ctrl + alt + t) and paste/type: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines:i386. Without further rambling, lets get started.įirst, if you haven't already, purchase and download Guitar Pro 6.Īfter the download has completed, rename the file "gp6.deb" (though it is not necessary, it makes it easier to reference). When installing the program properly, I still had aggravation (hours of trail and error), but my satisfaction towards the outcome far exceeds the sooner. My (short) experience with it was filled to the brim with crashes, bugs, missing pieces, and aggravation. Not that I have anything against WINE, it's actually an extraordinarily amazing software, but when combined with Guitar Pro, it could stand to preform a "little bit" better. Before I dive into this how to, I will say that this is a much, much better solution than WINE.

LINUX GUITAR PRO 32 BIT
Guitar Pro, for some asinine reasoning (no hate intended for such a brilliant program), is only available in 32 bit architecture for Linux.
