Hi! I'm trying to set up faircamp which is like a bandcamp alternative. If I'm understanding correctly it's a self-hosted static site. I'm new to all this. I'm on a mac, so I've installed Brew and then installed Faircamp using Terminal. It's currently pointing to "Audio Music Apps" folder which is full of audio plugins and such. I can't seem to figure out how to point it to a faircamp folder? Does it matter where the faircamp folder is?

I think I am building "from source". A different guide said to install a virtual linux but I don't have the necessary space to install all that.

This is what I've been working from: https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/manual/getting-started.html

That’s very weird! So you get the error message when you run faircamp --preview after editing your .eno?

And is there one .eno in your “Artist Name” folder, and another .eno in each “Release” folder?

If you’re on Mastodon or similar, I recommend the #faircamp tag, loads of us try to help out on that! There may be someone more familiar with faircamp on Mac & brew who can help…

If not, you could try making an issue here: https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp/issues

Thanks, I got it working, I think I must've opened it up with text edit to double check it and the formatting got added and that messed it up. Or I had a stray old .eno file somewhere within the folders. Or both. I'm not on mastodon just yet but that's good to know. Thank you!
