Installation and system requirements

Platform support

  • Meiji Sampler officially supports macOS, Linux, and Windows.
  • macOS is the primary supported platform and is the most stable day to day.
  • Windows and Linux are official targets as well; on Linux, stability can still depend on your audio backend and terminal setup.

macOS install

The strongly recommended install method is the DMG from sampler.meiji.industries. It bundles a supported terminal with GPU acceleration and great fonts, includes a reliable auto-update mechanism, and is the preferred option for most users. For terminal purists who want to run Meiji Sampler inside their own terminal, use the curl installer instead:
curl -fsSL https://sampler.meiji.industries/install.sh | bash

Linux install

Linux is supported, but you should expect more manual setup around audio host, devices, and latency. Use a modern terminal, verify your output device, and be prepared to try a different backend if low-latency playback is unstable.
curl -fsSL https://sampler.meiji.industries/install.sh | bash

Windows install

Download the EXE installer from sampler.meiji.industries, or install via curl in PowerShell:
curl -fsSL https://sampler.meiji.industries/install.sh | bash

What gets installed

Meiji Sampler stores state and configuration in your user directories.
  • macOS session state: ~/Library/Application Support/Meiji Sampler/state.json
  • macOS settings: ~/Library/Application Support/Meiji Sampler/config.json
  • macOS projects: ~/Documents/Meiji Sampler/Projects/
On Linux, state and settings live under ~/.config/meiji-sampler/. On Windows, state and settings live under %APPDATA%\Meiji Sampler\, and projects under Documents\Meiji Sampler\Projects\.
