The usual way of installing Sonic-Pi on Linux is building it using this guide.

I'm using Pop-OS, and I had to do some additional things to make it work. Let's see what are those.

First, the guide says to install the following packages:

But in my case, there was a conflict with pulseaudio with the exisiting pulseaudio application installed in Pop-OS. So, I had to remove pulseaudio-module-jack from the installation list.

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git libssl-dev ruby-dev elixir erlang-dev erlang-xmerl qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libqt5svg5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev supercollider-server sc3-plugins-server alsa-utils jackd2 libjack-jackd2-dev libjack-jackd2-0 libasound2-dev cmake ninja-build

Now, I started building sonic-pi, but was met with another error.

To fix this, I had to install libdbus-glib-1-dev.

sudo apt install libdbus-glib-1-dev

Now, it worked. Everything built successfully, and now I'm ready to make some sick beats ;)
