How do I use emerge to install zynaddsubfx presets?

  • 772

I found a script on the internet for installing zynaddsubfx presets but when I tried to use it on the command line I wasn't able to run it. Here is where I get stuck:

emerge -s zynaddsubfx.

This is what it says: 

No command 'emerge' found, did you mean: command 'vmerge' from package 'util-vserver' (universe)
Command 'merge' from package 'rcs' (universe)
Command 'fmerge' from package 'fhist'(universe)
Command 'smerge' from package 'tstools' (universe)
Command 'emerge' not found.

Can anyone tell me how to use emerge?

    That's because emerge command it is a command from (and will work in) Gentoo and will never work in Ubuntu (see this post in this sense). Its equivalent in Ubuntu is apt-cache. So, you should change emerge -s zynaddsubfx with:

    apt-cache search zynaddsubfx

  2. Or if you want to install it immediately use:

    sudo apt-get install zynaddsubfx
