Hi! I’m trying to set up faircamp which is like a bandcamp alternative. If I’m understanding correctly it’s a self-hosted static site. I’m new to all this. I’m on a mac, so I’ve installed Brew and then installed Faircamp using Terminal. It’s currently pointing to “Audio Music Apps” folder which is full of audio plugins and such. I can’t seem to figure out how to point it to a faircamp folder? Does it matter where the faircamp folder is?
I think I am building “from source”. A different guide said to install a virtual linux but I don’t have the necessary space to install all that.
Hm, if it thinks the font is Courier my guess is TextEdit is adding a file extension (like .rtf or something)
It needs to be just a .eno … maybe it’s like .eno.txt ?
You might be able to check that from Finder? But if not, you can see exactly what’s in your Faircamp folder (once you have used cd (current directory) to get in there) with this command:
Thanks! I ran the ls command and it says it is a .eno. I even tried typing out the whole thing from scratch in nano just to make sure there was no formatting being copy/pasted. I’m at a loss here haha.
That’s very weird! So you get the error message when you run faircamp --preview after editing your .eno?
And is there one .eno in your “Artist Name” folder, and another .eno in each “Release” folder?
If you’re on Mastodon or similar, I recommend the #faircamp tag, loads of us try to help out on that! There may be someone more familiar with faircamp on Mac & brew who can help…
Thanks, I got it working, I think I must’ve opened it up with text edit to double check it and the formatting got added and that messed it up. Or I had a stray old .eno file somewhere within the folders. Or both. I’m not on mastodon just yet but that’s good to know. Thank you!
