YouTube Music is an excellent service. But, sadly, there is no official client for Linux users to enjoy the service. Thankfully, the community has taken it upon itself to create an unofficial YouTube Music app. Here\u2019s how to use it on your system.<\/p>\n

Installing YouTube Music on Linux<\/h2>\n

YouTube Music isn\u2019t officially on Linux. However, there is a community app for YouTube Music that works just fine. You\u2019ll have to open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop to get the app working.<\/p>\n

To launch a Linux terminal on your desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, open up the app menu on your computer, search for \u201cTerminal,\u201d and open up the app that way.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open and ready to use, the installation of YouTube Music can begin. Follow the installation instructions down below that corresponds with the Linux OS you currently use.<\/p>\n

To install the YouTube Music app on your Ubuntu system, a DEB package is necessary. Using the wget<\/strong> download command below, grab the latest release of the DEB package.<\/p>\n

\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/th-ch\/youtube-music\/releases\/download\/v1.13.0\/youtube-music_1.13.0_amd64.deb\n<\/pre>\n
The download should be quick, as the file is tiny. When the download is complete, use the apt install<\/strong> command to set up the YouTube Music DEB package on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt install .\/youtube-music_1.13.0_amd64.deb\n<\/pre>\n
