sudo dnf install hummingbird

Arch

Arch users can install Hummingbird using the hummingbird-player AUR package:

NixOS

A flake is available for NixOS users. Work towards upstreaming Hummingbird into nixpkgs is currently ongoing.

Unstable Builds

The latest commit is built automatically by CI and uploaded to the latest tag.

Official builds are signed with minisign. The signature is attached to the release and must be downloaded seperately and placed next to the binary you are attempting to verify. Verify with:

minisign -Vm <file> -P RWTVGbNhJ/77g9Dm280SNcfxaPz118Hgg8vI55tFX83sIMiObZuxpDyV

Building

For more detailed instructions, see the Building documentation.

# install relevant devel packages for xcb-common, x11, wayland, openssl, and pulseaudio if on Linux
git clone https://codeberg.org/hummingbird/hummingbird
cd hummingbird

# last.fm api keys must be set in the environment for scrobbling to work
# these can be obtained from https://www.last.fm/api/account/create
# you can also set these in a .env file in the root of the project
#
# Hummingbird will still build without these keys, but scrobbling will be disabled
export LASTFM_API_KEY="your key"
export LASTFM_API_SECRET="your secret"

# debug mode will result in noticable slowdown in some cases
cargo build --release
