jackaudio
Please update your documentation on installing Jack2 on Ubuntu
Describe the bug
When going to the downloads page in the jack website, you just recieve a a sentence that says "install on ubuntu with apt-get, yum, etc." but you NEVER specify the name of the package to install... I had to find 4 tutorials to see how to install this plugin (by the way I used the qjackctl package. Please be more specific in your installation instructions. You need to help make your product more intuitive
Environment
- JACK Version: Which version of jack2 are you using? jackdmp version 1.9.12
- Operating System: Linux Ubuntu 20.04
- Installation: How did you install jack2? Package manager but with the help of another tutorial, not with the useless information that the jack website provides.
Steps To Reproduce
# Paste a minimal code example here (e.g. about how you started JACK)
sudo apt-get install qjackctl
Expected vs. actual behavior
All went smoothly, but I didn't know how to install jackd because the website is not specific enough.
Each distribution packages it differently, it is out of scope of the jack2 project to keep track of downstream packaging efforts. Last I checked debian still had both jack1 and jack2, while archlinux only has jack2 but already did the preparations for the jack-example-tools split while debian did not. Alpine only ever packaged one version of jack as far as i know, unlike most distros where it was optional at some point. No idea about fedora, opensuse and other rpm variants. And this doesnt take into account pipewire, which very soon will be enabled by default in distros and fully replace stock jack.
So it's complicated, and always changing. I really do not believe the jackaudio website is the place to put such information, as it is quickly outdated and there is always going to be new distros doing things differently.
That said, recommendations for how to approach it are welcome. Perhaps just cover the most common distros and ignore the rest. As usual, pull requests / patches are welcome :)
