Where is the banshee folder? [duplicate]

  • 772

I'd like to take a look to the source code but I can't find the right folder.

No the folder in the home directory, the one where the source and configuration is stored, a cd banshee isn’t going to work, I obviously need the right path.

banshee

    First thing make sure you download the code. The source code does not get downloaded by default (to save space).

    Run this in a terminal (we are first creating a folder to contain the source files):

    mkdir ~/banshee-source-dir
cd ~/banshee-source-dir
apt-get source banshee

    if everything went OK, there should be a folder ~/banshee-source-dir/banshee-<version> inside which the source code is located.

    Notice that you can also browse the code on GitHub.

  2. From Where can I find the source code of Ubuntu?:

    Open terminal and type:

    sudo apt-get build-dep $package

    where the word 'package' indicates the source code of the program you desire to download.

    then type:

    sudo apt-get source $package

    In your case, to download Banshee's source code, type:

    sudo apt-get build-dep banshee
sudo apt-get source banshee
