   Thank you for your work and your interest in the program!

   It would be great if you write a short step-by-step guide on how Ubuntu/Debian users can use your MRP.

   P.S.
   The dependencies that are listed on the page are not entirely correct. ffmpeg & hicolor-icon-theme are not required
   You can see actual depends on launchpad

   Sure! Using the MPR is almost identical to using the AUR on Arch systems, where you use a helper (such as Tap) to feed PKGBUILDs to makedeb, with the only notable difference besides the ecosystem being that you need to install makedeb yourself. There's a great manual for setting up on the makedeb site here.

   tl;dr: sudo tap install flacon

   I'll keep the dependencies in mind, I used the dependency list provided by the AUR source package, and according to the comments ffmpeg was added because it was required for self-tests on build. I'm not exactly sure why hicolor-icon-theme is present, so I may reach out to the AUR maintainer directly for their input.

   I didn't find the tap program in the ubuntu repositories.
   I don't use Debian/Ubuntu, it's hard for me to understand how to install tap/makedeb something else for MRP support.

   Could you write as short a step-by-step instruction with commands. Like the following, but for MRP.

   Debian and Linux Mint “Debian” users can use repository at OpenSUSE Build Service.

   Open up a terminal and input these commands as root:

   Debian 10

   echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sokoloff/Debian_10 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/flacon.list
   wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sokoloff/Debian_10/Release.key -O- | apt-key add -
   apt-get update
   apt-get install flacon
