How to Install Amarok 1.4 on CentOS 5

Posted on February 23, 2014November 11, 2014 by Matt

Update 2014-11-11: I have fixed the instructions as I discovered the old instructions no longer work smoothly. This worked for me earlier today when I needed a fresh Amarok install.

How to Install Amarok 1.4 on CentOS 5

I love CentOS 5 particularly because of KDE 3.5, which I just can’t seem to get on without, and Amarok which is a great music player. Here’s how to install it with all the bells and whistles, including mp3 support..

  1. yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly –enablerepo=rpmforge
  2. yum install xine xine-lib –enablerepo=rpmforge
  3. yum install amarok.x86_64 –enablerepo=epel

As you can see, you’ll need the EPEL and RPMForge repositories for CentoS 5.

These simple steps worked for me out of the box on a CentOS 5.10 x86_64 KDE Desktop OS install.

Note I personally disable all third party repos by default to avoid conflicts with CentOS packages hence the ‘enablerepo’ arguments. No ‘yum priorities’ were used on the repos.

Note also on an x86_64 install you might start getting i386 package dependencies installed which are not really needed hence I installed with a ‘.x86_64’ suffix where needed in the commands above.
