How To Install lv2 on CentOS 8
lv2 is Audio Plugin Standard
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install lv2 on CentOS 8.
What is lv2
LV2 is a standard for plugins and matching host applications, mainly targeted at audio processing and generation. There are a large number of open source and free software synthesis packages in use or development at this time. This API (‘LV2’) attempts to give programmers the ability to write simple ‘plugin’ audio processors in C/C++ and link them dynamically (‘plug’) into a range of these packages (‘hosts’). It should be possible for any host and any plugin to communicate completely through this interface. LV2 is a successor to LADSPA, created to address the limitations of LADSPA which many hosts have outgrown.
We can use yum or dnf to install lv2 on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install lv2.
Install lv2 on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
