We recommend that you use the software installation routines of
your distribution to install MPD.
Most operating systems have a MPD
package, which is very easy to install.
Installing on Debian/Ubuntu
Install the package MPD via APT:
apt-get install mpd
When installed this way, MPD by
default looks for music in
/var/lib/mpd/music/
; this may not be
correct. Look at your /etc/mpd.conf
file...
