Hi,

The internet pointed me to this page: http://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian which has very clear instructions expect that the necessary directory doesn't exist for my version of Ubuntu, 14.10. In particular, the procedure adds the following line to my apt/sources.list:

deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases utopic main

which tries to fetch:

http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/utopic/main/binary-amd64/Packages

But http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/utopic does not exist.

Searching through this forum I see some people using pd-extended on Ubuntu 14.10, so it must be possible.

How did they do it?

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Welcome to this forum. Did you try the following terminal commands explained in this page below?:

http://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eighthave/pd-extended
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pd-extended

If I recall, that's how I installed it on my Linux Mint 17.

Cheers!
Gilberto

That won't work because pd-extended hasn't been built for Ubuntu 14.10.
