KXStudio : Repositories

The KXStudio repositories support all Debian versions since 11 (Bullseye) and Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) or above including Ubuntu 22.04.
They should work on all Debian-based distributions and variants.

The only real requirement is it being a computer capable of running x86_64 (pretty much everything nowadays) or an ARM-based system, which can be armhf (ARM 32bit with neon-vfpv4) or aarch64 (ARM 64bit).
Legacy i686 systems (PCs that cannot do 64bit) are not supported.

Once you have the repositories enabled, you should first update the software sources (using your preferred GUI or simply running sudo apt update),
then either manually install individual packages or the meta-packages to automatically get large sets of audio tools and plugins.
See the Meta-Packages page for more details.

We recommend to install the kxstudio-default-settings package after enabling the repositories.
This will put in place a few system tweaks useful for audio, these include for example, minimizing swap usage and increasing maximum number of open files.
