Lyrebird relies on a number of a Python modules that aren't bundled with a Python distro install and a number of third-party shell tools. If Lyrebird is installed without a package manager then it's likely that a user is missing at least one. There needs to be visual (UI alerts) and actionable safeguards when a dependency is missing.

Recommended for missing...

  • Pulseaudio or Pipewire.
  • pactl (requires Ubuntu package pulseaudio-utils which is commonly not shipped on default Pipewire installations, though still compatible).
  • sox.
  • Pulseaudio format in sox (common in Debian-based distros, requires libfmt-sox-pulse).
  • toml Python module (also common in Debian-based distros, requires python3-toml).
  • GTK (4).
  • python-gobject (GTK for Python, can be missing in some distros).
  • Python 3.7+.
  • Pavucontrol (one-time warning).
  • ~/.alsoftrc
