About

This is simple multi platform sound player. I get ideas from opener.

This module should be used when to play simple sound or sound effect. Not suitable for music players.

Installation

npm install simplayer -g
 
# if you want to use in node 
npm install simplayer --save

If platform is linux, then need to install the alsa

# before we start the work, please update 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
 
# install ALSA 
sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
