Installation

Homebrew (Apple Silicon)

brew tap program247365/tap
brew install looper

Upgrade an existing install:

brew update
brew upgrade program247365/tap/looper

The Homebrew formula ships a prebuilt binary for aarch64-apple-darwin, so install and upgrade are a small download and a file move — no compile step on your machine. ffmpeg and yt-dlp are pulled in automatically as runtime dependencies.

Intel macOS users: there is no prebuilt binary. Build from source (below) or run brew install --HEAD program247365/tap/looper to compile from main.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/program247365/looper.git
cd looper
make install

Requires Rust — install via rustup if needed.

Runtime dependencies

YouTube, SoundCloud, and HypeM playback need yt-dlp and ffmpeg:

brew install yt-dlp ffmpeg

If YouTube playback starts failing with 403 errors, update yt-dlp first.

Spotify needs neither yt-dlp nor ffmpeg — it decodes in-process via librespot. It only needs a Spotify Premium account and a one-time login. See Spotify.
