How to install ALSA in Linux Mint 15

[J1Wan]

Dear flocks,

I am new in Linux (few days only). Please let me know how to install the ALSA midi program in Linux Mint 15. I don't know the command and procedure. Moreover, I want to know how to install the JACK program as well.

Thanks a lot.

I have watch this video. However, I can't even go to this stage. First, I don't know download what package of file, or download all package? Second, I don't know how to install, I have no idea the command.

Can any one help me such a few days Linux beginer. Please give me clear and simple instruction to do that.

Much obliged.

open up the software manager ans search for JACK and install

qjackctl
Jackd

Then follow the video that will get Jack up and running. If you want record you should install Ardour as well. After that you can install and try patchage for MIDI
