  1. Create a folder where we will upload the music. To do this, enter the command

     > cd /var

     > sudo mkdir music

And a command to go to the created folder

     > cd music

  1. Now you can upload audio files to this folder. Files should be grouped into folders as follows:

music/%artist_name%/%album_name%

Therefore, we will create several folders with the following command (inside the music folder):

    > sudo mkdir -p artist/album

and go to this folder with the command:

    > cd artist/album

  1. To download a track via a direct link, you can use the following command (while inside the album folder)

    > sudo wget -O %file_name% %link_to music%

           For example:
              > sudo wget -O Omen.mp3 ‘https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1kaj9cpLcgwcu0hPp6N2cUE8cIzoWM31t&export=download‘
