Read Me

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.htm

If 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).  In some linux installations you can download Pd via
"apt-get install puredata" or "yum install puredata"; otherwise you will have to
download the source and compile it as follows:

First download Pd, which will be a ".tar.gz" file; to unpack it, type "tar xzf
[name].tar.gz" to a shell.  (Alternatively, check the sources out from a
repository).  This creates a directory with a name like "pd-0.35".  In a shell,
cd to "src".  If there's a file named "configure", type "./configure" and then
"make".  If there's no "configure", generate one first by typing "autoconf" then
"./configure" and "make".

Microsoft Windows.  Pd binaries are 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.

If you have qustions about Pd, or if you wish to be notified of releases,
check the Pd mailing list: http://iem.mhsg.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/

Many extensions to Pd are available, notably for handling video and 3D
graphics; see the html documentation for pointers.
