$ mixxx --developer --safeMode
try on your machine

The command "mixxx --developer --safeMode" is used to launch the Mixxx software application with specific options.

Here's the breakdown of each option:

  1. "mixxx": This is the command that is used to run the Mixxx application.

  2. "--developer": This option enables developer mode. In this mode, additional features or options may be available that are primarily used by software developers for debugging, testing, or extending the software. It allows developers to access and modify certain functionalities that are not available in regular user mode.

  3. "--safeMode": This option enables safe mode. Safe mode is a feature designed to run the software in a restricted environment with minimal settings and plugins enabled. It is useful when troubleshooting issues, as it helps to isolate problems caused by conflicting plugins or other configurations. Safe mode disables any custom user settings and loads with default configurations, ensuring a clean and stable startup.

By using the "mixxx --developer --safeMode" command, you're launching Mixxx in developer mode while also ensuring it starts up with a clean and safe environment.
