It isn’t terribly expensive either so I think it’s just to take the plunge and buy it. I’m not sure why I waited so long to get a license for Guitar Pro because it’s truly an incredible tool and I use it practically every single day. It worked pretty well considering it cost me nothing. At the time, I used alternatives like Tux Guitar, and when I lived with my parents and used their Windows PC, I used the PowerTab Editor. I was one of the people who, for years, refused to get Guitar Pro. Typically it’s as easy as opening the file, sending it to your alternative software, or using the drag-and-drop feature. DS_Store file in the deb file.Generally speaking, you can open Guitar Pro files legally with several different software including TuxGuitar, PowerTab, Soundslice, and MuseScore. Sudo cp /home/lebowski/Soundbanks.gpbank /opt/GuitarPro6/ Sudo mv /home/lebowski/opt/GuitarPro6 /opt/ Sudo mv /home/lebowski/usr/share/pixmaps/guitarpro6.png /usr/share/pixmaps/ Sudo mv /home/lebowski/usr/share/applications/sktop /usr/share/applications/ (in some case) : sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 Sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libcrypto++9v5:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libportaudio2:i386 libpulse0:i386 libsm6:i386 libxml2:i386 Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade Get the latest gp6*.deb and rename it to gp6.deb Here's what I did on a fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 圆4 I will try my best to help everybody, but again, it's not my fault if anything unfavorable happens. *I do not take any responsibility for any damage that shouldn't have occurred. Definitely respect and help each other in the comments! Thanks for reading, I hope I helped out a bit. 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). 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: Guitar Pro 6 should now successfully be installed on your machine. Sudo mv /home//Downloads/opt/GuitarPro6 /opt/ Lastly, the following command will place the "/opt/" (the real "meat" of the program): Sudo mv /home//Downloads/usr/share/pixmaps/guitarpro6.png /usr/share/pixmaps/ This next command will place the pixmaps file: Sudo mv /home//Downloads/usr/share/applications/sktop /usr/share/applications/ desktop file in your "/applications/" folder: 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. Once you have them, move them to your "/lib/" folder.Īfter they been moved and the libraries installed, you will be able to use this program. 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". Next, open terminal (ctrl + alt + t) and paste/type: 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. If so, this is a guide for you.īefore I dive into this how to, I will say that this is a much, much better solution than WINE. Like most of us, you are probably using a 64 bit computer. Guitar Pro, for some asinine reasoning (no hate intended for such a brilliant program), is only available in 32 bit architecture for Linux.
