-**RompR is a client for mpd or mopidy - you use RompR in a web browser to make mpd or mopidy play music**
-These are basic installation instructions for RompR on Linux.
-If you want to install rompr on Mac OS X, have a look at [Installation on macOS]. 
-If you want to install rompr on Windows, pull down your pants and stick your head up your ass.

-##Assumptions##
-I'm going to assume you already have mpd or mopidy installed and working. This is not the place to discuss the arcane art of configuring mpd. For that you'll have to read the mpd community wiki. Sorry about that. The mopidy instructions are quite good.
-
-##Recommended Setup for Linux##
-This is the way I now recommend you do it. Thanks to the anonymous forum user who put up the initial instructions for getting it to work with PHP7 when I was in the wilderness.
-**The following is a guide. It has been tested on Kubuntu 17.10 so Ubuntu and Debian flavours should follow this. Other distributions will be similar but pacakge names may be different and the location of files may be different. Sorry, I can't try them all. If only they'd agree.**
-Users of other distributions should read this guide. You may find some useful information about package names and file locations over on the [Legacy Installation Instructions] page.
-This guide sets up Rompr to work with the nginx web server, an sqlite database and allows you to access it using a nice url - www.myrompr.net
-
-###Install Rompr###
-Download the ZIP file from here and unzip it somewhere. Let's say you unzip it to /var/www. You will then have a directory /var/www/rompr. Remember this as you'll need it later. From now on we're going to refer to that as /PATH/TO/ROMPR. So remember, /PATH/TO/ROMPR is the directory you unzipped it to, with /rompr on the end. 
-
-####Set directory permissions####
-We need to give nginx permission to write to the albumart and prefs directories inside the rompr installation. We can do this by changing the ownership of those directories to be the user that nginx runs as. *This may differ depending on which distro you're running, but this is good for all Ubuntus*
-~~~
-sudo chown -R www-data /PATH/TO/ROMPR/albumart
-sudo chown -R www-data /PATH/TO/ROMPR/prefs
-~~~
-
-###Install some packages###
-~~~
-sudo apt-get install php7.1-sqlite3 nginx php7.1-curl imagemagick php7.1-json php7.1-fpm php7.1-xml php7.1-mbstring
-~~~
-*Note the version numbers - 7.1 is current at the time of  writing but as times change it may become 7.2,etc. On Ubuntu 16.04 I think it is 7.0. Amend the command as applicable*
-
-###Create nginx configuration###
-We're going to create rompr as a standalone website which will be accessible through the address www.myrompr.net
-**Note. This sets rompr as the default site on your machine. For most people this will be the best configuration. If you are someone who cares about what that means and understands what that means, then you already know how to add rompr as the non-default site. What is described here is the easiest setup, which will work for most people**
-First we will remove the existing default config, since we don't want it.
-~~~
-sudo unlink /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
-~~~
-Then we will create the rompr config and set that to be the default
-~~~
-sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/rompr
-~~~
-Paste in the following lines, remembering to change /PATH/TO/ROMPR as above, and edit the 7.1 if appropriate.
-~~~
-server {
-
-    listen 80 default_server;
-    listen [::]:80 default_server;
-
-    root /PATH/TO/ROMPR;
-    index index.php index.html index.htm;
-
-    server_name www.myrompr.net;
-
-    # This section can be copied into an existing default setup
-    location / {
-            allow all;
-            index index.php;
-            location ~ \.php {
-                    try_files $uri index.php =404;
-                    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;
-                    fastcgi_index index.php;
-                    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
-                    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
-                    fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
-            }
-            error_page 404 = /404.php;
-            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
-            location ~ /albumart/* {
-                    expires -1s;
-            }
-    }
-}
-~~~
-
-Save the file (Ctrl-X in nano, then answer 'Y'). Now link the configuration so it is enabled
-~~~
-sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/rompr /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/rompr
-~~~
-
-####Edit the hosts file####
-To make your browser capable of accessing www.myrompr.net we need to edit your hosts file so the computer knows where www.myrompr.net actually is.
-~~~
-sudo nano /etc/hosts
-~~~
-and just add the line
-~~~
-127.0.0.1        www.myrompr.net
-~~~
-
-You will need to make this change on every device you want to access rompr from. On devices where this is not possible - eg a mobile device - you can just use the IP address of the server, because we have set rompr as the default site.
-
-*Those of you who want to be clever and know how to edit hostname and DNS mapping on your router can do that, you will then not need rompr to be default site and you will not need to remve the existing default config. Just remove default_server where it appears above and set server_name appopriately. If you didn't understand that, then ignore this paragraph.*
-
-####Edit PHP configuration####
-We need to edit the PHP configuration file.
-~~~
-sudo nano /etc/php/7.1/fpm/php.ini
-~~~
-Now find and modify (or add in if they're not there) the following parameters. Ctrl-W is 'find' in nano.
-~~~
-allow_url_fopen = On    
-memory_limit = 128M
-max_execution_time = 300
-~~~
-
-####That's all the configuring. Let's get everything running####
-~~~
-sudo systemctl restart php7.1-fpm
-sudo systemctl restart nginx
-~~~
-
-That should be it. Direct your browser to www.myrompr.net and all should be well.
-
-#Other Setup Options#
-
-##Installation With Docker##
-
-Docker is some kind of clever containerisation gizmo that provides self-contained packages of software. In theory it should make installing rompr a simple affair on any platform. I don't know anything about it but Tom Roth has created a docker image for Rompr and MySQL here:
-
-https://github.com/rawdlite/docker-rompr
-
-##Installation with Apache Webserver##
-if there's a reason for you not use nginx, there are some instructions for using Apache at [Linux With Apache]. But you should note that I haven't actually tried them recently.
-
-#Advanced Configuration#
-
-###MPD/Mopidy Addresses and Ports###
-In the case where your mpd server is not running on the same PC as your apache server, or you need a password for mpd, or you'd like to use a unix-domain socket to communicate with mpd, point your browser at:
-
-    www.myrompr.net?setup
-
-and enter the appropriate values. This page will appear automatically if rompr can't communicate with mpd when you load the page.
-
-###Proxy Configuration###
-You can configure Rompr to use a web proxy from the setup page, too.
-
-###Mopidy Settings###
-If you're using Mopidy make sure you read this : [Rompr and Mopidy]
-
-#Troubleshooting#
-
-###Cannot Connect to MPD or Mopidy###
-
-####MPD on a remote PC####
-If you are running mpd on a different computer from your Apache server then you might need to change the bind_to_address in your mpd.conf as the defaults sometimes don't work. "localhost" will only accept connections from the local PC, and "any" seems to fail sometimes because it tries to bind to IPV6 first. Try:
-
-    bind_to_address    "127.0.0.1"
-    bind_to_address    "ip.address.of.this.computer"
-
-
-###Music Collection Fails To Build###
-
-####MPD and Large Music Collections####
-If your music collection is quite large you may need to tweak a couple of settings in mpd.
-Edit /etc/mpd.conf (or wherever your mpd conf file is) and find the line (or add the line) for max_output_buffer_size and connection_timeout
-
-    connection_timeout        "800"
-    max_output_buffer_size    "32768"
-
-
-####MPD Configuration####
-The value of music_directory in your mpd.conf must be the directory where your local music is stored. Rompr relies on mpd to scan the files.
-
-####Very Large Collections####
-You may fall foul of web server timeouts when trying to build very large music collections. You can hopefully fix this.
-Firstly, your php.ini needs to have a setting for max_execution_time, as above. This is in seconds, so set it to something massive. (If you're using apache you can set this as a php_admin_value in your apache config file for rompr, near where all the other are)
-Secondly you need to allow the server to wait a long time for output. With nginx, this is the fastcgi_read_timeout parameter that is in the example configuration above. For Apache you need to change the Timeout directive in your apache config file. Note this has to be globally for whole server, which is another good reason to use nginx :)
-
-##Tweaking##
-
-Rompr can use the 'Album Artist' tag in MP3 files  to help it sort your collection more accurately. Unfortunately a lot of people misunderstand what this tag is for. There is no better explanation than the one here: <http: www.mkoby.com="" 2007="" 02="" 18="" artist-versus-album-artist=""/>. Using the Album Artist tag helps RompR to sort your music into correct albums.
-
-It also helps greatly if your local files are tagged with Musicbrainz IDs. MusicBrainz Picard is a good tagger, though those with large music collections may like to check out Beets.
