This installation option applies to Debian Linux, including Ubuntu.

    * First, install Java: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
    * Download the Subsonic .deb package and install it: sudo dpkg -i subsonic-x.x.deb

Notice that the installer configures your system to start Subsonic automatically when booting.
After installing, open the Subsonic web page on http://localhost:4040.

Transcoders!

To make use of Subsonic's powerful transcoding feature, it's highly recommended to install some
third-party transcoders: sudo apt-get install lame flac faad vorbis-tools ffmpeg

Advanced configuration

To change the port number, Java memory settings or other startup parameters,
edit the SUBSONIC_ARGS variable in /etc/default/subsonic.
To restart Subsonic, do sudo service subsonic restart

Troubleshooting!

Check the logs in /var/subsonic.
