How to use: Start with the quickstart and make sure you learn how to find help. Then it’s as you like: go for another general tutorial, or a specific example, pick a basic notion, or some examples from the cookbook. If you’ve understood all you need, just browse the reference and compose your dream stream.

If you downloaded a source tarball of liquidsoap, you may first read the build instructions.
