Deploying Audacity and LAME using SyAM

Management Utilities

Management Utilities can be used to perform a silent installation of the open-source sound

editor Audacity on your Windows client systems. The installation can also include the open-

source mp3 encoder LAME.

Requirements: Windows target systems must have the SyAM System Client installed and

reporting to SyAM System Area Manager. Target systems must be discovered by Management

Utility.

Download Audacity for Windows here:

http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/audacity-win-2.0.2.exe

LAME can be downloaded here:

http://lame3.buanzo.com.ar/Lame_v3.99.3_for_Windows.exe

Place the installation files in the directory that is defined as the Default Application Path on the

Administration Settings page of Management Utility.

In Management Utility, create a Third Party template to install Audacity. Enter a template name.

Select the target platform and authentication template. Enter the path to the network share (this

will be filled in already if the default path has been entered in Administration Settings) then click

the Find Files button and choose the Audacity installation file from the drop down menu. Enter

the installation parameters:
