@Nobody it's actually pretty easy. if you go to his github link he posted you'll see a pd-mkmr link listed near the top. click on that link for the main repo page, and there's a green button on the far right corner that says 'Clone or Download'. click that to get a zip of the repo. unzip that file and inside are all the patches from the whole mkmr collection and it should be under the Instruments directory. hope this helps!

Thanks! With your help I succeeded in downloading the files. Great program!

Sadly I don't understand how GitHub works. Could you post a link directly to your pd-file?

Solved!

@Nobody You can try "/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd". But simply "pd" worked for me:

With /usr/local/lib/pd/tcl/pd-gui.tcl as "command¨ the icon on my desktop directs me to the new version of Pd.

Everybody thanks for the tips.

I found the location of the new Pd: /usr/local/lib/pd/tcl/pd-gui.tcl

I made a launcher on the desktop and it works. But there is no Pd-icon, only a kind of "rocket".

@ingox said:

@Nobody Just changing the command to pd should be alright. Otherwise you can try /usr/lib/puredata/bin/pd.

No - that still leads to the old one. I only get the new one via the terminal.

Using the terminal I get the new version of Pd, but the icon on my desktop still opens the old version of Pd located at: /usr/lib/puredata/tcl/pd-gui.tcl . In what directory do I find the new version so that I can change the target of the Pd-icon on my desktop?

I have followed the instructions of INSTALL.txt and the tips given in this topic, and it looks like I have installed Pd Vanilla 0.49.0.

Now what do I do with the source map? Can it savely be deleted now?

This worked:

cd ~/Bureaublad/pd-0.49-0

Result:

`~/Bureaublad/pd-0.49-0

Installing the dependencies and updating the repositories also done.

Now what's next?

Where in the directory do I have to put the unpacked source file (or map called pd-0.49-0 actually)? I have it on my desktop now.

It went wrong here:

cd path/to/pd
bash: cd: path/to/pd: Bestand of map bestaat niet``````

Meaning that the file or map doesn't exist.
