This is the README file for Pd, a free real-time computer music software
package resembling Max. You can get Pd for Linux, Mac OSX, or MS Windows,
from http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html.
Installation instructions are in the HTML DOCUMENTATION at:
http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/index.htmIf you download and unpack Pd, you will also find the html documentation locally in the file, .../pd-whatever/doc/1.manual/index.htm. To unpack Pd:
LINUX (or freeBSD). Download Pd, which will be a ".tar.gz" file; to unpack it, type "zcat [name].tar.gz | tar xf -" to a shell. This creates a directory with a name like "pd-0.35". CD to "src". ./configure, and make. There are also compiled packages available.
Microsoft Windows. Pd is distributed as a "zip" file. Unzip this, creating a directory such as \pd.
Macintosh. The web browser will automatically unpack the distributions into a folder such as "pd-0.35" on your desktop.
