Hi,
I am installing Pd on a Raspberry Pi running Buster, the default 32-bit install installed Pd Vanilla through the system Add/Remove Software, which turned out to be Pd 0.49.

I checked out this guide but it is for purr data.

How should I do to get the latest vanilla version? Hopefully I can install all needed externals through deken.

And, is there a better Os install than default Buster? I aim to run the Pi headless.

Thanks!

Which is the latest Raspbian OS? You're getting 0.49 because Buster is an older release and this is the Pd version it has in its repositories. You should either install a newer Raspbian image, or compile Pd yourself from the source, or use backports, but I have rarely used these so it's better someone else gives advice on these or search the web.

Hello,

I recently installed/build Pd Vanila from source code on RPI: it compiles flawlessly.
Just read the linux instruction for building it.
I personaly do not bother with making a .deb package. I simply do a "sudo make install"

Source can be found there.

Most of the externals are also easily built if you take care with providing the right path to the PDINCLUDEDIR variable for the make file.
Hope this helps

@JMC64 what Os do you use on the Rp3?
