-First you need to grab the latest versions and install them with installpkg:+  * Install JDK or OpenJDK. AlienBob has packages here: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/openjdk/ This is for portmidi. You may need to log out and in again after installing jdk. 
 +  * Create Avahi user and group (for 14.2 onward): 
 +groupadd -g 214 avahi\\ 
 +useradd -u 214 -g 214 -c "Avahi" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false avahi\\

 <code>sepkg -q audio</code> <code>sepkg -q audio</code>
  
-When using studiopkg it will check the package md5 and gpg. If these are wrong you may need to retry the download and/or delete the cache using the --delete-cache option. It will prompt for retry download. If it keeps throwing up an error then please contact us with the details.

-<note important>Either jdk or openjdk is a buildtime requirement when using sepkg to build the audio or full queue. jdk can be found in the extra/ directory on any of the slackware mirrors, or alienBob has packages for openjdk here: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/openjdk/</note>
