Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install rtmidi on Fedora 34.

What is `rtmidi`

RtMidi is a set of C++ classes (RtMidiIn and RtMidiOut) that provides a common API (Application Programming Interface) for realtime MIDI input/output across Linux (ALSA & Jack), Macintosh OS X, Windows (Multimedia Library), and SGI operating systems. RtMidi significantly simplifies the process of interacting with computer MIDI hardware and software. It was designed with the following goals * object oriented C++ design * simple, common API across all supported platforms * only two header files and one source file for easy inclusion in programming projects * MIDI device enumeration rtmidi 3.0.0 10.fc34 x86_64 46 k rtmidi-3.0.0-10.fc34.src.rpm fedora Library for realtime MIDI input/output (ALSA support) http MIT RtMidi is a set of C++ classes (RtMidiIn and RtMidiOut) that provides a common API (Application Programming Interface) for realtime MIDI input/output across Linux (ALSA & Jack), Macintosh OS X, Windows (Multimedia Library), and SGI operating systems.
