Linux Audio Meters

To install, on many systems, from an explorer window, double click the .deb file.

Alternatively, in the directory containing the .deb file, do the following (there may be errors indicating missing packages. Step 2 will fix this):

• sudo dpkg -i sgr-meters-amd64.deb
• sudo apt install -f

Or, the following:

• sudo apt install gdebi (if not already installed)
• sudo gdebi sgr-meters-amd64.deb

This installer file has been checked with current (22.1 Xia) versions of Linux Mint {Mate, Cinnamon, and Xfce} and Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat). It should work on other similar recent Debian based systems. If not, try a re-build from the full source code below.

Note: After installation, a desktop launcher for sgr-meters may be found in /usr/share/applications/sgr-meters.desktop which can be copied to your desktop. Alternatively, you can start the meters with the command sgr-meters from a command line prompt.

Both the desktop and the command line launchers have options that configure the appearance. See the man page for a list of these. The man page may be accessed with the command:
