Spotify not installing
by not_buddy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6G7GS)
I am using Kali Linux on a live boot usb.
I tried many things like:-
(Yes i have updated fully already done sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade it says there are no more packages that need updating)
1st thing i tried:-
I went on Spotify for linux and tried installing from there followed each step it gives this error The following packages have unmet dependencies:
spotify-client : Depends: libgconf-2-4 but it is not installable
Recommends: libavcodec58 but it is not installable or
libavcodec-extra58 but it is not installable or
libavcodec57 but it is not installable or
libavcodec-extra57 but it is not installable or
libavcodec-ffmpeg56 but it is not installable or
libavcodec-ffmpeg-extra56 but it is not installable or
libavcodec54 but it is not installable or
libavcodec-extra-54 but it is not installable
Recommends: libavformat58 but it is not installable or
libavformat57 but it is not installable or
libavformat-ffmpeg56 but it is not installable or
libavformat54 but it is not installable

2nd thing i tried:-
I went on the internet and got the .deb file for spotify from a site and tried installing them using 'sudo apt install spotify.deb' it gives a similar error to the first one

3rd thing I tried:- installed spotify using snap
it is running but i want to use spicetify (its a application that lets u fully customize your spotify the way you like) with spotify and on spicetify it clearly says that you need to have spotify installed by client not by snap thus this isnt working out for me.
Conclusion - I want to install spotify client through the spotify site method or deb file to use spicetify with it.
I even tried fixing the package thing but i always end up coming across errors if someone can help me please help me :).
