Grab a binary for your platform from the releases page.
--features=system: Enable playback through MIDI out devices registered on the system.--features=system-jack: Same with system but uses the Jack backend.--features=winrt: Same with system except it uses the WinRT backend. Note that currently WinRT does not recognize OmniMidi or Virtual Midi Synth so I wouldn't recommend it.--features=fluid: Enable fluidlite as a built-in MIDI synthesizer (requires libfluidlite and pkg-config to be present on your system).--features=fluid-bundled: Enable fluidlite as a built-in MIDI synthesizer; use the bundled library. This feature is enabled by default.You need an up to date rust toolchain installed.
On *NIX systems, you also need alsa development libraries:
```sh
apt install libasound2-dev
dnf install alsa-lib-devel ```
To use the jack backend, you also need jack development libraries:
```sh
apt install libjack-jackd2-dev
dnf install jack-audio-connection-kit-devel ```
You can install from crates.io:
cargo install plmidi --features system
Or, you can clone it:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/insomnimus/plmidi cd plmidi git checkout main cargo install --path .
jack backend:cargo install --path . --features system-jack
cargo install --path . --features system --no-default-features ```
