Installation and Configuration Notes for Audacity

By default the app will install into a Audacity folder under the apprpriate Program Files folder.

Project Evergreen

Project Evergreen AppTracker provides information and sources for installers for this app https://stealthpuppy.com/apptracker/#audacity

Exe based installer

Silent installation is possible:

  • "/SP /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES" (capitalized) for silent installation.
  • "/SP /SILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES" (capitalized) for passive installation.
  • A preconfigured audacity.cfg file may be copied into the AppData\Roaming\Audacity folder.
  • Additional preconfig files are needed to be copied there if you want to register ffmpeg.

FFMPEG

See instructions from audacity, but there is a zip file that contains a dll. You can unpack this whereever you want (I suggest C:\Program Files\Audacity\FFMPEG folder) and then register this location in the edit->preferences menu of the app. Be sure to make other changes and then save off the entire AppData\Roaming\Audacity folder (except file the log) and copy that out after installs.
