how can I organise the files so that I can just run $ardour5 rather than having to refer to th /opt directory?
You could create a symlink to the binary or add /opt/Ardour-5.12.0/bin/ to the $PATH.
The former is probably easiest:
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /opt/Ardour-5.12.0/bin/ardour5 Ardour5
Then launch with Ardour5. Alternatively you could also just crate a .desktop launcher that uses the full path.
Eventually there should be an installer that does this and also creates a desktop launcher.
The official Intel binaries from https://ardour.org/download already do that, but the current ARM binaries are mostly for getting feedback (system performance, ARM specific bugs, etc).
Hi…In my case I can run Ardour on Raspberry Pi Zero and it works well for simple tasks such as tracking up to 4 channel. I can save and export without problems. I can even overdub and mix with 2 or 3 plugins. I noticed one very important thing: the speed of the SD card is crucial for running Ardour on Raspberry Pi.
Since Ardour 6.0 There is now official support for the ARM platform 32 bit (armhf) and 64bit (aarch64) installers are available from http://ardour.org/download.html
For the RaspberryPi 4 with default Raspbian, download the the 32bit/armhf version.
