Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this! I need to install Pd .51 on a remote server via ssh (in order to do some testing with quacktrip, a patch Miller is developing based on jacktrip, for networked music performance). I have tried this:

apt install puredata-dev_0.51.0-1_all.deb

and get these errors:

E: Unable to locate package puredata-dev_0.51.0-1_all.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'puredata-dev_0.51.0-1_all.deb'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'puredata-dev_0.51.0-1_all.deb'

Here are the sources I have listed in /etc/apt/sources.list (the last one I added, the others were already there):

deb http://mirrors.linode.com/debian buster main
deb-src http://mirrors.linode.com/debian buster main
deb http://mirrors.linode.com/debian-security buster/updates main
deb-src http://mirrors.linode.com/debian-security buster/updates main
deb http://mirrors.linode.com/debian buster-updates main
deb-src http://mirrors.linode.com/debian buster-updates main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye main

Can anyone point me to the source I need to add or the .deb file that I should use? Many thanks,

Michael

quacktrip

Interesting... reading about it: http://msp.ucsd.edu/tools/quacktrip/ - I tried Jamulus (real-time jam sessions over the internet) but even with the server very close to my place it didn't work well (dropout, bad quality). Is quacktrip for realtime over the internet (if that is possible at all) or realtime on a local network)?

About your question:
Why don't you build pd from source? Should be very easy (ie: autoconf, ./configure, make & make install).

Cheers

@EEight thank you! Somehow I missed this message but will try the install/build that way.

Quacktrip is fantastic and Miller is working on a really great new version. Realtime music making via internet is possible. If you want high quality I'd suggest jacktrip, though now quacktrip is another great option, with a new multi-client version coming soon... I keep some info here on networked music performance in case it's helpful:

Thanks again!
