Just for reference: Compiling SP on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS went smooth following the standard [instructions](https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/blob/main/BUILD-LINUX.md). Only a few of things had to be done apart from this before compiling, nothing much to do with SP itself: - ~~Build osmid (`m20`/`o2m`) apart and put it in `$SP_HOME/app/server/native/osmid`.~~ - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is slowly getting a little outdated, so Erlang has to be updated to 23 at least, otherwise one gets the `init terminating in do_boot` thing from Erlang. I have uninstalled it and then followed these [instructions](https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-latest-erlang-on-ubuntu-linux/) to get the new version. - Update `cmake`. I uninstalled the old one and got the new version like so: ```ruby sudo apt remove cmake sudo snap install cmake --classic ``` Those were the additional dependencies in my case. I have noticed that my MIDI paths change, but who cares … Edit: Per @ethancrawford’s remark struck out the osmid part. ---

FYI, with v3.3, osmid has been completely replaced with an all-new MIDI subsystem - so that bit at least is unnecessary 🙂 ---

Ah, cool, that explains why I get different MIDI messages. ---

Hi there ;D Why cmake over snap ? I use Linux Mint 20.1, there have banned snap from your system. Ok, I know, how I can actived snap, but then why cmake over snap or not over ppa ? ---

Seemed the quickest way to me 🙂 although I don’t like snap much either. ppa would probably be better, but I think I’m moving over to 20.04 soon. ---

Oh, I don’t remember now, I have now 3.19.2 and that works well. I seem to remeber that Ubuntu 18.04 has 3.10.something and that did not work.
