Linux Audio Meters

Full Distro

sgr-meters-22-sept-2025.tgz

Full Installation The most reliable way to install on a Debian-based system is to download and decompress the distro file file (see below) onto your desktop and compile and build the system in its entirety. This should eliminate any library issues which sometimes occur. To do this, from the sgr-meters directory, do the following:

sudo ./GeneralInstall.script
configure
make -B
sudo dpkg --install sgr-meters-amd64.deb

The first script will download and install system libraries needed by the compile. It will take sometime to execute and produce many messages. The second command configures the source code to your system. The third command compiles the code (hint: add -j X at the end of the make where X is the number of CPUs you have - this will make the compilation run quicker). The third command installs the package on your system. You my now run it with the command: sgr-meters

Installers

Specific installers for specific versions of Linux appear below. Installers are much smaller and quicker than the full install as shown above.

Note: you may see messages saying some software is missging after you run the dpkg command below. The second command, the apt command, should correct these issues.

To use an installer to install, download the installer for your version of Linux and, from a terminal window, type the following:

sudo dpkg --install sgr-meters-amd64-VERSION.deb
sudo apt install -f

Where VERSION describes the version of Linux you are using. The second command will install from standard system repositories any missing packages needed to run the sgr-meters code. Do not be suprised if on most systems, many packages will be installed.
