Lindale-setup.exefrom Releases. - Run it. Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC" because the installer is not code-signed yet: click More info → Run anyway.
Requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
You need Git and a 64-bit VLC 3.0 install (the app uses libVLC for playback; release builds bundle it).
git clone https://github.com/supdocquart/Lindale.git
cd Lindale
gradlew.bat :desktop:runGradle downloads the JetBrains Runtime 21 it needs on the first build. kur.bat builds and installs a local copy with Start menu and desktop shortcuts.
Lindale is a desktop port of Metrolist by MO Agamy and contributors, which itself builds on InnerTune and OuterTune. All the hard work on the YouTube Music side is theirs; thank you.
Lindale also uses libVLC (LGPL-2.1), JetBrains Runtime with JCEF, Compose Multiplatform, Room, Ktor, Coil and Koin.
Lindale is free software under the GNU General Public License v3.0, like Metrolist it is based on.
