How to Install Spotify on Debain GNU/Linux 8 (Jessie)

These instructions are from Spotify's Website:

# 1. Add the Spotify repository signing key to be able to verify downloaded packages
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys BBEBDCB318AD50EC6865090613B00F1FD2C19886

# 2. Add the Spotify repository
echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

# 3. Update list of available packages
sudo apt-get update

# 4. Install Spotify
sudo apt-get install spotify-client

I can confirm that they work exactly as written on Debian Jessie, I know some things aren't required for Debain(sudo),

it's a bigger hassle to remove them instead of just copy/pasting :)

Enjoy!

Replace VI with VIM on Debian 7

Make sure you can access internet before attempting this.

• Open the terminal
• apt-get install vim
• sudo vi /etc/vim/vimrc

Uncomment the "syntax on" line to enable color coding that vim comes with. This will replace vi with vim, if you edit a file with say "vi .bashrc" it should show you color coded text instead of just black and white.
