@dakota Nice!!!

Now I updated tutorial to compile 0.51-0 Pd version!

@emviveros Awesome. I was just about to research how to get .51 on my Pi. I only have .50 on it now.

thank you

@emviveros Hey. This tutorial worked for me. The only thing that didn't work was step 3.

I had to leave out the link to msp.ucsp.edu. etc.
I intalled everything else. They I went to the site on a browser and downloaded the file. Then I moved it to /home/pi/src then I did all the other steps, and pd opened.

In some crazy way I made a desktop file that opens to Pd, but I sort of did it on accident. Anyway thank you again for this great tutorial and now I am up to date.

i posted above but just wanted to say - again - how invaluable this resource is @emviveros. thank you so much.

if anyone would care to update this thread (for us non-developer-types) with a way to put a pd icon on the desktop, it would be a nice addition. not essential, but would really make this resource complete and a one-stop-shop.

Just a note that if you are trying to install pd 0.51-4 using Raspbian Bookworm,

sudo apt install libfftw3-3

in Step 3 of @emviveros's instructions will not work.

However, you can get around this by installing each of libfftw3-3's dependencies, which can be found here: https://packages.debian.org/buster/libfftw3-3

After this, you can proceed as normal and pd will install.

It's also worth noting at when pd is installed it goes to usr/local/bin (at least when I've done it). From here you can create a link to the pd-gui bash file to create a logo shortcut. If I have time I'll make instructions, for those who wants something a bit more user friendly...
