Starting with configuring mpd
config for mpd is located in $PREFIX/etc/mpd.conf
open the in any text editor and uncomment lines these lines (262, 263, 264 and 267) to enable the pulse audio output. After that uncomment these lines to enable visualization in ncmpcpp
(288-294) :

and
Now restart mpd just type mpd
And press y if it prompts you to restart
And then run ncmpcpp and press 7 to check outputs and enable both my pulse output & ncmpcpp visualizer
When you press 8 in ncmpcpp you can see visualization of current track but this not what we need , we want cava to visualize music not ncmpcpp so leave it running & open a new session and type cava and hit enter
Now wait a second for cava to adjust
