Releasing Methods

• Github Releases (Installation Guide)
• Spark Store (Installation Guide)

NOTE: after hours of testing, the APT repo and the Docker image cannot be guaranteed to work properly, so the way is abandoned for now.

Installation

via Github Releases

Auto-install Script

Just execute the following command in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lyricify/Lyricify-on-Wine/master/install-deb.sh > install-deb.sh && sudo bash install-deb.sh

If raw.githubusercontent.com is blocked in your region, you can try the other one below, which uses JSDelivr CDN:

curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/Lyricify/Lyricify-on-Wine@master/install-deb.sh > install-deb.sh && sudo bash install-deb.sh

Manual Install

First of all, download the latest release (currently .deb package) from Github Releases.

• If you're using Deepin or UOS(unverified), install the package using apt command directly. All dependecies exist in Deepin's Apt repository.
• If you're using other apt/dpkg-based Linux distributions, you'd have to install dependencies manually.
  1. Clone and enter this repository: git clone https://github.com/Lyricify/Lyricify-on-Wine.git && cd Lyricify-on-Wine
  2. Install the dependencies from "apt-missing-dependencies" directory: sudo dpkg -i apt-missing-dependencies/*.deb
  3. Install the Lyricify package from the .deb package you downloaded from Github Releases using apt.
  4. Enjoy!

via Spark Store

This way installation is much easier. Since it's a Chinese service it might not be suitable and accessible for everyone.

1. Download Spark Store from its official website. (might be chinese!)
2. Search for "Lyricify" from the app store.
3. Click on "Install".
4. Enjoy!

Installation for Non-Debian-based Distributions

If you are using a non-Debian-based Linux distribution (i.e., distributions that don't use the deb package format), refer to the following. The deb package files provided by this repository are convenient enough for Debian-based distributions, but for other distributions, a deb package file doesn't offer much help.
Here, we'll use Arch Linux as an example. For other distributions, please find and install the relevant programs on your own.

Installation

• Install the required programs spark-dwine-helper, dpkg, and 7z

$ sudo pacman -S spark-dwine-helper dpkg p7zip

• Download the .deb package provided by the Lyricify-on-Wine repository, unpack it, and you can delete the remaining files as needed

$ curl -OL https://github.com/Lyricify/Lyricify-on-Wine/releases/download/Lyricify4/com.wxriw.lyricify4_4.2.28.240502-release-wpack240503.02_amd64.deb
$ dpkg -X com.wxriw.lyricify4_4.2.28.240502-release-wpack240503.02_amd64.deb Lyricify
$ mv Lyricify/opt/apps/com.wxriw.lyricify4/files/files.7z Lyricify/opt/apps/com.wxriw.lyricify4/files/wine_archive.7z .
$ 7z x wine_archive.7z -o./Wine-for-Lyricify
$ 7z x files.7z -o./Lyricify
$ rm *7z

• Move the Lyricify folder to the default WINEPREFIX path corresponding to spark-dwine-helper

$ mv Lyricify/ ~/.deepinwine/

Running

At this point, you should be able to run Lyricify 4 normally. Here, we assume the initial working directory is ~/.Lyricify

$ APPRUN_CMD=~/,Lyricify/Wine-for-Lyricify/bin/wine64 /opt/deepinwine/tools/spark_run_v4.sh "Lyricify" "4.2.28.240502-release-wpack240503.02" "C:/Program Files/Lyricify 4/Lyricify for Spotify.exe"

Writing a .desktop file to integrate the application into the application menu

Edit the ~/.local/share/applications/com.wxriw.lyricify4.desktop file

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Categories=Audio;
# The relative path of this file when unpacking should be
# ./opt/apps/com.wxriw.lyricify4/entries/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/com.wxriw.lyricify4.png
Icon=~/.Lyricify/com.wxriw.lyricify4.png
Exec="~/.Lyricify/run.sh" --uri 
Name=Lyricify
Comment=Lyricify 4 in a Wine container
MimeType=
GenericName=com.wxriw.lyricify4
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false

Edit the ~/.Lyricify/run.sh file

#!/bin/bash

export APPRUN_CMD=~/.Lyricify/Wine-for-Lyricify/bin/wine64 
/opt/deepinwine/tools/spark_run_v4.sh "Lyricify" "4.2.28.240502-release-wpack240503.02" "C:/Program Files/Lyricify 4/Lyricify for Spotify.exe"

Some Possible Issues

• When authorizing Spotify, the browser may not pop up normally. You need to click the Problems logging in? button in the lower left corner to manually open the browser for authorization.
• If there are strange display issues with the application interface, opening Settings-Apple Music Lyrics-Background-Dynamic can alleviate this problem.
