System Requirements

How to Compile Audacity

Dependencies

The wxWidgets library is required. Audacity 3.0.0 requires wxGTK 3.1.3, with our patches. If you compile wxWidgets yourself it should be built with the default gtk2 option, not with gtk3. The libsndfile library is also required and is included in Audacity obtained from Git. Installation of other libraries is optional.

CMake is required.

If you install libraries using a package management system like Apt or RPM, you need to install the “dev” (development) packages for each library.
