Hi. I want to install Harmonoid on my machine. Has anyone managed to install this on Bazzite? And if so, how? According to the website, "You also need mpv & libmpv-dev installed". I'm curious about that, as I have no idea how to go about this.

It comes as an RPM. Just download it, cd into the directory where it's stored, then rpm-ostree install ./harmonioid-package-name.rpm

That's called layering. You would use the same command to search for and install other packages in the dnf repos: rpm-ostree search mpv then rpm-ostree install package-1 package-2 (whatever they're called)

Didn't work, here's what I have when I tried to install mpv-devel:

You might already have that stuff installed. The reason I say that is this:

cannot install both mpv-libs-0.39.0-1.fc41.x86_64 from fedora and mpv-libs-1:0.39.0-1.fc41.x86_64 from @System

Did you try installing the RPM by itself and see if it works?

ETA: layering can be a good option, but if the base system already has the files you're trying to install but a different version, you'll sometimes run into funky behavior. I think you have to include an override --force if you want to replace something already installed.

And since you're just trying to install a music program, that seems a little invasive for what you're trying to do and might introduce bugs during future updates. I don't recommend you bother trying to replace system packages.

I'll try this when I get home. Thanks!

The way I described it above will require at least two restarts, unfortunately, so be prepared to wait (layering is safe but as slow as getting a new system update).

You might be able to chain the local file with the dependencies in the repos, like rpm-ostree install dep1 dep2 /path/to/your/file.rpm to save a restart and only create the one new rollback state in the boot menu.
