Depending on your Linux distribution you will need different libraries check which here.

Install the requirements (apart from Rust and cargo you will need other libraries).

If you get nothing from the commands, then you don’t have them installed.

Check if you have Rust and cargo installed (cargo is the Rust package manager).

I’m going to copy-paste the commands there with some comments below: Spotifyd’s GitHub page comes in handy for the installation. If you have never heard about building from source, I recommend this video to learn more: We are not going to use any of these, instead we are going to build it from source. You will first need to configure our debian repository: curl -sS | sudo gpg -dearmor -yes -o /etc/apt//spotify.gpg echo 'deb stable non-free' | sudo tee /etc/apt//spotify.Spotifyd is a Unix daemon and is already available to install as a package in Arch, macOS and as a snap package. Our aim is that it should work with the latest Long Term Support release of Ubuntu, but we will try to make it work for other releases of Ubuntu and Debian as well. Spotify for Linux is also released as a Debian package. If you run another Linux distribution than Ubuntu, first see for how to install snap, then run the command above. Run the following command in your terminal: snap install spotify If you don’t have access or don’t want to use Ubuntu Software, it is possible to install Spotify from the command line with snap. If the link doesn’t work, open Ubuntu Software and search for Spotify. Go to Spotify in Ubuntu Software and click install. You can tell us what you think and ask other users for help at the Desktop (Linux) board in The Spotify Community forum.

The experience may differ from our other Spotify Desktop clients, such as Windows and Mac. They work on it in their spare time and it is currently not a platform that we actively support. Spotify for Linux is a labor of love from our engineers that wanted to listen to Spotify on their Linux development machines. Here you can find different ways of installing Spotify for Linux.
