# librespot
*librespot* is an open source client library for Spotify. It enables
applications to use Spotify's service, without using the official but
closed-source libspotify. Additionally, it will provide extra features
which are not available in the official library.
Note: librespot only works with Spotify Premium

# Building
2018-02-07 17:57:19 +00:00
Rust 1.20.0 or later is required to build librespot.
**If you are building librespot on macOS, the homebrew provided rust may fail due to the way in which homebrew installs rust. In this case, uninstall the homebrew version of rust and use [rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/), and librespot should then build. This should have been fixed in more recent versions of Homebrew, but we're leaving this notice here as a warning.**
It also requires a C, with portaudio.
On debian / ubuntu, the following command will install these dependencies :
```shell
sudo apt-get install build-essential portaudio19-dev
```
