SpotX-Bash for SteamDeck

[d3vC0mm4nd3rShadowSlayer29]

Hello. I would like to ask how to install SpotX-Bash in SteamDeck.
Recently, I am unable to install it after an update pushed by Steam.

By the way, adding new info about where Spotify install in Steam Deck
There are two directories
/home/deck/.local/share/flatpak/app/com.spotify.Client/
/home/deck/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/

I have checked it on the usr/lib directory but spotify didnt install there.

The "Spotify directory not found" issue mentioned in the FAQ doesn't help at all?
https://github.com/jetfir3/SpotX-Bash/wiki/SpotX%E2%80%90Bash-FAQ#why-does-spotx-bash-say-spotify-not-found-when-spotify-is-installed

From your most recent post it looks like Spotify installation via flatpak is happening (or has happened at some point) so the -P flag pointing to the Spotify directory should solve the issue (note the flatpak path/directory example in the FAQ).

More recent builds of SpotX-Bash should now be able to find default locations when flatpak, AUR, APT and other package managers are used. If Spotify is installed then it should hopefully be automatically found... and for the cases where it isn't, you can always use the -P argument followed by the path pointing to the spotify app directory.
