Hi T. The linux development is done on Fedora, and the maintained packages are for Fedora. If you’re lucky you may also find updated releases for Ubuntu 14.04.
However, i beleive Karim Haddad (he’s one of the gurus…) runs OM on Debian. If he doesn’t give any response here, try asking at the regular OM-forum.
In addition, to do the sound->note transcriptions, OM uses supervp and/or pm2 (the engines in Audiosculpt). These tools are included if you download the libraries from the IRCAM forum, but i think you’ll have to pay for a forum license to get them running. I beleive the best place to get precise answers to issues vs. licenses etc. is at the regular OM forum:

Good luck, and if you get through the mentioned tutorials, and have some questions, please don’t hesitate asking here again!
Cheers,
