How do I install mic_over_mumble?

Question

I'm a lifetime Windows user and I just installed Ubuntu.

I need to use my phone as a mic.

I already found one solution: Use phone as microphone in Linux

I did steps 1 and 2 without any problems, but I have no idea what to do in step 3. It says:

Copy mic_over_mumble anywhere - it will use ~/.mic_over_mumble as configuration directory. Don't forget to make it executable (chmod +x mic_over_mumble).

I installed the 3 things from steps 1 and 2 with the command line. I didn't download any file or anything. Where is the "mic_over_mumble" file that is referenced? I don't see anything in my download folder. Also, please explain to me how to use ~/.mic_over_mumble as configuration directory and how to make it executable.

Answer 1

Run the following commands.

First, install git and clone mic_over_mumble:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
cd
git clone https://github.com/pzmarzly/mic_over_mumble

Now, you will have a new directory (folder) named mic_over_mumble.git. This new directory will contain the mic_over_mumble script.

Next, to copy the mic_over_mumble script to your user's home directory, use the cp command like this:

cp ./mic_over_mumble.git/mic_over_mumble ~/

Also, the other answer forgot to make the file executable so run the following command:

chmod +x ~/mic_over_mumble

Finally, you can run the script from your user's home directory like this:

./mic_over_mumble

Alternatively, you can call the script from any directory by specifying your user's home directory (~/):

~/mic_over_mumble
