Install Puredata (pd-extended) in Fedora
Publicado: 11/12/2011 Archivado en: Fedora | Tags: fedora, puredata, música 2 Comentarios »Puredata is a visual programming language for create interactive computer music and multimedia works, similar to MAX/MSP (used by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead). It is an open source project, under a license similar to the BSD and it runs in Linux of course.
Here a video demonstration.
I’m not sure why it doesn’t included in the official repo, but I think I read about a license problem (correct me please). So, we need to enable the CCRMA repo, that we find here http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/planetccrma.html. There’s not problem with the version number, I used the F15 for F16, there aren’t changes in the package between versions.
For enable the repositories, be sure having enabled the RPMFusion repositories and write in a terminal:
rpm -Uvh http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetccrma/15/i386/planetccrma-repo-1.1-3.fc15.ccrma.noarch.rpm
Now you can do:
yum install pd-extended
And you done it.
puredata

Some of the items in PD-Extended depend on libraries not available in fedora, CCRMA uses the RPMFusion for these items. It would be possible to build a version of PD-Extended that doesn’t need RPMFusion, that would meet fedora’s license requirement, but that would leave out many goodies that depend on those libraries..
I would like to put vanilla PD from UCSD into the fedora repository. This would not have any of the Extended libraries but generally the Extended version of PD is one version behind vanilla. Also I would have to prevent vanilla PD clashing with PD-Extended.
Good luck with Pure Data. It is a wonderful way of programming with the other side of your brain.

Thanks for the answer Jeff, not far from what I thought
Indeed, PD is very funny.
