Feel free to take a crack at running it +under linux. + +You must have PD/Gem installed to use pixelTANGO. +Choose a place for PixelTANGO /usr/local/lib/pd seems natural. +Add the "externals" folder to your PD path. +Add the "abstractions" folder to your PD path. +Add the "abstractions-memento" folder to your PD path. +Add the "scripts" folder to your PD path. + +Run PD will flags such as: + +pd -rt -helppath /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/help -path /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/abstractions/ -path /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/abstractions-memento -path /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/externals/ -path /usr/local/lib/pd/PixelTANGO-release-0.1/scripts -nosound -nomidi -lib Gem:zexy:OSC:py + +Linux uses note that pixelTANGO has hard-coded directories for OSX in +pt.entry and pt.layerfx. Open these files in an editor and change the +"/Applications/..." paths to reflect where your fonts (for pt.entry) +and fx/ abstractions (for pt.layerfx) are located. + +Try the included Example-Patches and give it a go. To get a run of +existing PixelTANGO modules open the PixelTANGO-help.pd file. Help +For each abstraction is available through the usual Right-Click or +Bouble-Click menu. + +Have fun! |
