Download and install
Butt needs to be installed from source – which isn’t as painful as it sounds.
Download the latest archive from the Butt sourceforge page.
Once the download has finished extract the archive somewhere accessible .
Open a terminal and enter the extracted folder using the ‘cd’ command.
Now enter:
sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0 libvorbis-dev portaudio libfltk-dev
Followed by:
./configure && make
If you see no errors you can finish up with
sudo make install
